We asked the question here if this will help his profile fight the elite in the division. Despite the DAZN broadcast (most notably Chris Mannix) boasting the big names such as Jermall Charlo to make a fight happen, that fight window has already passed. But the victory for Andrade should at this point should at least get him a more competitive fight.

The most logical move at this point should be Jamie Munguia, who Andrade did mention after the fight.

“Enjoy your night. Don’t drink and drive too much, ” Andrade said the Irish faithful that came to root Quigley.
