The card, from London’s O2 Arena, will also include the professional debut of British Heavyweight and 2012 Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua.

This is a nice opportunity for stateside fight fans to catch the title bout between Quigg and Salinas, which has big implications for that division, as well as the pro debut of Joshua, the heavily-hyped next great British heavyweight hope.
