Quigley, who returned from a year-long injury absence to spectacularly dispatch of the never-before-stopped Daniel Rosario Cruz in March, will need to have his wits about him to get the job done against former world title challenger Hernandez.
The 39-year-old upset heavy-hitting compatriot Alfredo ‘El Perro’ Angulo in 2016, and has shared the ring with Demetrius Andrade, Erislandy Lara, Luis Collazo and Andre Berto over the last eight years.
He lost on points to Andrade, who fights for the vacant WBO World middleweight title following Billy Joe Saunders’ abdication on 20 October, and also went the distance with world-class Cuban stylist Lara. He beat Collazo over 10 rounds in what was a tough test on his return to the ring from a first-round stoppage defeat to then-WBC World welterweight champion Berto.
