Two months after they were originally set to face each other, Jack Catterall and Regis Prograis will finally share a ring as they prepare to compete for the WBO International Super Lightweight title at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester.

The pair were meant to go toe-to-toe in August but that fight fell through due to an injury to the British fighter.

Prograis a shadow of his former self

Former two-time world champion Prograis has enjoyed an incredible career, and while now 35, he will still claim he has plenty left in the tank. His form, however, suggests otherwise.

The southpaw has only lost twice in his career, with "Rougarou" beating the likes of Terry Flanagan, Abel Ramos, Julius Indongo, Kiryl Relikh and Jose Zepeda.

Prograis has only ever lost to two fighters, with Josh Taylor getting the better of him in 2019 while Devin Haney proved too good in December 2023.

The New Orleans fighter responded to that defeat to Taylor with five straight wins, but he failed to impress when beating Danielito Zorrilla in June 2023 before then losing to Haney by unanimous decision.

Haney schooled Prograis for 12 rounds, and there's a real worry that Prograis has lost his ability to compete at the highest level.
