Unbeaten Irish middleweight titlist Jason Quigley has become the latest addition to Dominic Ingle's Sheffield stable.
Quigley, a Sky Sports Scholar after London 2012, is relocating to the Ingle Gym having been based in Los Angeles since turning professional in 2014.
Rising Golden Boy Promotions prospect Quigley overcame Glen Tapia in March to win the NABF middleweight belt and will begin training with Ingle in late December.
"I plan to make big waves in 2018," said Quigley who has a record of 13-0 with 10 knockouts.
"A lot of the fighters Dominic has had have the same style as myself. They're elusive, technically sound boxers, who have power. Where I have got to already has come from my boxing ability.
"When you turn pro, people think you have to turn around and start landing big, heavy shots. But you need to box. Boxing is a skill and a technique. The sport is boxing and I've got to where I am by boxing. It's time to tap back into my technique and my boxing skills. Dominic Ingle will bring those out of me.
"Look at the fighters Dominic has with him: Kell Brook, Kid Galahad, Junior Witter, Billy Joe Saunders…A continuous success story. I plan to be another success story in 2018."
A broken right hand, sustained in the second round of his bout with Tapia, has healed and Quigley - who has since moved into the top ten in the WBA world rankings - is ready for action.
He said: "It's like a lion being locked in a cage for a long time. I'm the lion ready to be released now.
"My speed and my power are all coming back again. I've stayed in shape over the last few months and I fell brilliant."
Ingle is excited by the addition of Quigley and said: "Jason is 13-0, he's unbeaten, but he has come under the radar here. He has world title potential. Not everyone has that, but Jason does. He has made the right move to get him to the world title.
"He's got a good style, he's smart and he has a good boxing brain. We will bring him through and see what works.
"He will get quality sparring here, too, and we'll get him on a good programme immediately."
