Jack Catterall overcame a slow start to drop former two-time world champion Regis Prograis twice on his way to a unanimous decision victory over the American.

Two of the best super-lightweights collide in Manchester this weekend as fan-favorite Jack Catterall takes on former WBC World champion Regis Prograis in a showdown that promises fireworks.

The period between February 2022 and May 2024 was a very turbulent time for Jack Catterall. After being controversially beaten by Josh Taylor for the undisputed super-lightweight championship, the mooted rematch then fell through on multiple occasions for various reasons. It’s probably a period he wants to forget in a hurry.

What a first half of the year it has been in terms of thrilling, intriguing and epic boxing contests, with the likes of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk, Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia, Artur Beterbiev vs Callum Smith and Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery all living up to the pre-fight hype.

Devin Haney put on one of the great boxing clinics as he swept aside Regis Prograis in his first fight at 140lbs, winning the WBC title in the process.

Regis Prograis and Devin Haney are ready to clash in one of the year’s most anticipated, and potentially barbaric, fights.

After an underwhelming couple of days of boxing, it was down to Tim Tszyu and Carlos Ocampo to save the sport from a weekend to forget. Thankfully, Tszyu was in the mood to deliver.

Boxing continues its streak of back-to-back weeks of world title action this weekend as Regis Prograis defends his WBC World Super-Lightweight Title against Danielito Zorrilla in New Orleans, whilst Tim Tszyu looks to assert himself as the number one contender in the light-middleweight division when he takes on Carlos Ocampo in Australia.
