Shannon Briggs to Face Quinton Jackson in Boxing Match

Shannon Briggs is set to face Quinton Jackson in a boxing match at Rumble of Titans: Duel In the Desert. Get all the details about the upcoming fight and the fighters involved.

Shannon Briggs, also known as the ‘Cannon’, is set to extend his winning streak to 10 with his upcoming match against former UFC Light Heavyweight champion, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson. The highly anticipated bout will take place in Qatar at Rumble of Titans: Duel In the Desert on June 8, 2024.

Briggs, with a record of 60-6-1, 1 no contest, has been absent from the ring since his knockout victory over Emilio Zarate in May 2016. Despite his numerous attempts to secure fights, Briggs has faced rejection from potential opponents. One such opportunity was a potential match against Mike Tyson, which ultimately went to Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020.

A rivalry between Briggs and Jackson began in early 2020 after Jackson’s loss to Fedor Emelianenko. The feud has been ongoing for several years, fueled by Briggs’ laughter at Jackson’s expense. Jackson, known for his striking ability and knockout power, has transitioned from a strong wrestler to a formidable boxer.

Both fighters will have to overcome ring rust in the Briggs vs. Rampage matchup. While Briggs acknowledges the existence of ring rust, he believes his opponent will be more affected by it. Briggs plans to train intensively for the next three months, ensuring an entertaining and action-packed fight for the fans.

‘We’re both entertainers, and I don’t like him,’ said Briggs. ‘I’m gonna beat him up anyways, so it’s gonna be fun entertaining the world and beating up old ‘Rampy Pa.’ We’re gonna have fun, and because we’re not as young as we used to be, it’s gonna be a slugfest. We’re gonna go toe-to-toe, punch for punch, as hard as we can. It’s gonna be an exciting showdown.’
