Jack Catterall moved to within touching distance of a world-title fight by outpointing Regis Prograis over 12 high-quality, absorbing rounds at Manchester’s Co-Op Live Arena

The two-time junior welterweight titleholder Regis Prograis has aspirations for a third crack at a division crown, and he’ll move one step closer to this should he get past Jack Catterall on Saturday at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England on DAZN.

Save for an eleventh-hour hiccup, it appears as though super lightweights Jack Catterall and Regis Prograis will at last share a ring on Saturday (October 26) in Manchester.

On Saturday, Regis Prograis returns for the first time since losing to Devin Haney when he takes on Jack Catterall at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England, on DAZN.

Regis Prograis taunted Jack Catterall with a message from Catterall’s manager telling Prograis that he would “flatten” him if they fought. They settle it Saturday at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester.

Junior welterweight contender Jack Catterall believes he is facing a focused and ambitious Regis Prograis when they fight in Manchester this weekend.

After the dust had settled on his victory over Josh Taylor, Jack Catterall and his team sat down to plot his next move. There was no thought about dialling back the level of opposition and waiting for a super lightweight world title opportunity to present itself. Instead, Catterall, 29-1 (13 KOs), and his team were determined to maintain the momentum created by the exciting win over his bitter rival and set out to secure the most attractive fight they could.

Knowing the history of how dishonest aging fighters can be with themselves, it’s only natural to wonder what becomes of former two-time 140-pound world champion Regis Prograis as he stares down an overseas fight against a younger, higher-ranked opponent.

If Saturday night’s junior welterweight fight with Jack Catterall is a make or break night for Regis Prograis, the Louisianan has plenty of reasons for optimism.

A couple years ago, Jack Catterall was deprived of his coronation as the new king of the junior welterweight division. Now Regis Prograis stands in his way as he looks to secure another world title shot.
