Speaking to IFL TV’s James Helder in Las Vegas at the recent media formalities for his upcoming return, former super bantamweight king Guillermo Rigondeaux had a damning message for the rest of the division.

Having been stripped of both his WBA ‘super’ and WBO titles, the 33 year-old signed with Roc Nation recently and was hastily added to this weekend’s massive Miguel Cotto v Canelo Alvarez middleweight clash.

‘Rigo’ battles Drian Francisco over ten rounds having resisted calls to move up in weight and told IFL / BoxNation that he’s coming for his old belts.

The UK’s Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg are set to battle it out for one of the Cuban’s old belts, whilst the WBO are still considering an appeal by Rigondeaux which should be completed by the end of this month.

A recent stipulation by the WBA means Rigondeaux will be first in line to face the winner of Frampton v Quigg on February 27 and the current number one 122 pound fighter on the planet means business.

“The should put those belts in a museum,” Rigo told Helder through his translator. “I’m coming to wipe both of them (Frampton and Quigg) off the face of the earth. The Daddy has returned,” he added.
