Scott Quigg retained his WBA super-bantamweight title after stopping Stephane Jamoye in the third round at the Phones 4U Arena in Manchester.

After pressing Jamoye on the ropes in the third, Quigg left the former European bantamweight champion floundering on the canvas with a vicious body shot. Jamoye got to his feet but the referee quickly called off the contest.

Following his victory, Quigg admitted he is eyeing a fight with new IBF super-bantamweight world champion Carl Frampton.

"That's the fight I want next," Quigg told Sky Sports. "If he wants to sit down in a room, Carl, Barry [McGuigan, Frampton's manager], Eddie, me ... that fight can be made.

"Leo Santa Cruz is another fight I want. If Carl doesn't want to sit down at the table then we'll see if Santa Cruz does. You want to assess yourself against the best."

American Chris Avalos is the mandatory challenger for Frampton's title, however Eddie Hearn, Quigg's promoter, is confident that obstacle can be overcome.

"We're involved with Chris Avalos, maybe he'll step aside so Carl can face Scott," Hearn told Sky Sports.

"We'll make the call to Barry this week. The British public want it, Scott and Carl want it. Let these kids have a huge pay day and a great fight for boxing, two world champions. Let's get it made, let these kids earn the fortune they deserve."

The potential venue for the proposed fight could be another sticking point, with Quigg likely to favour Manchester and Frampton likely to demand a bout in Belfast.

"Wherever the most lucrative opportunity is for our fighter, the fight can happen," Hearn added.

"No one should stop this fight from happening. We've wanted it for three or four fights. I know Carl wants to fight, let's be smart and sensible."
