We shortly report on the two-photon decay width of the light sigma-meson interpreted as a quarkonium state. Results are given in dependence on the sigma-mass and the constituent mass of the light quark. The triangle quark-loop diagram, responsible for the two-photon transition, is carefully evaluated: a term in the transition amplitude, often omitted in literature, results in destructive interference with the leading term. As a result we show that the two-photon decay width of the sigma in the quarkonium picture is less than 1 keV for the physical range of parameters.
