Scott Quigg successfully defended his WBA super-bantamweight world title for the fifth time against Hidenori Ohtake who suffered his first defeat in seven years. Quigg was taken the distance by the Japanese visitor in Liverpool on Saturday night, winning almost every round in what was a workmanlike victory. The 26-year-old from Bury will now hope his promoter Eddie Hearn can deliver a career-defining unification clash against Carl Frampton or Leo Santa Cruz when he returns to the ring in March.
