and I'm very happy." Sky Sports revealed on 25 September 2017, Matchroom Sport would be holding a card at the Casino e Monte Carlo Salle Medecin in Monte Carlo, Monaco on 4 November. Eddie Hearn confirmed Quigg would fight on the under-card in a WBA world title eliminator against 36-year-old Ukrainian contender Oleg Yefimovych (29–2–1, 16 KOs). Yefimovych was coming into this fight on a 12-fight win streak, stretching back to 2011. Freddie Roach did not work in Quigg's corner for the fight.
