Quigley's professional debut came on 26 February 2004 with a victory over David Pearson at the Kingsway Leisure Centre in Widnes.
Over the next two years he won on six more occasions before on 14 October 2006 meeting fellow prospect Nathan Cleverly at the MEN Arena in Manchester.
[1] On 28 March 2009 Quigley fought fellow Liverpudlian Tony Dodson at the Echo Arena in Liverpool for the full British title and won in an "epic" battle with both fighters under pressure for large sections of the fight.
Quigley finally settled matters in the 12th round when a right hand put Dodson down and despite getting back up again, in enough trouble to cause the referee to step in and stop the fight.
The fight, a split decision, on 30 October 2009 once again took place in the city at the Echo Arena and was described as a "brutal" contest with promoter Frank Warren promising a rematch between the two fighters.
