Jack Catterall and Regis Prograis are set to face off in a highly anticipated super lightweight clash at the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester, England, on October 26. This 12-round showdown will be broadcast live on DAZN, featuring two southpaws in a battle for supremacy in the 140-pound division.
Catterall (29-1, 13 KOs) enters the ring fresh off a major win over Josh Taylor, avenging his controversial loss and reigniting his pursuit of a world title. The 31-year-old from Chorley, England, is aiming for a dominant performance against a former two-time world champion, marking this bout as a crucial step toward securing a title shot.
The fight, originally scheduled for August, was delayed due to an injury Catterall sustained. Prograis (29-2, 24 KOs), a former WBC champion, is eager to rebound after a tough loss to Devin Haney in December 2023. Known for his resilience, Prograis has only lost to the top fighters in the division, including a narrow defeat to Josh Taylor in 2019, which was a Fight of the Year contender.
This matchup is set to be the first boxing event held at the new 23,000-seat Co-Op Live Arena, adding an extra layer of excitement. Catterall is currently the favorite, with odds at -460, while Prograis is considered the underdog at +340. Despite the odds, the fight promises to be a thrilling contest, with a draw listed at +1800.
Both fighters are highly ranked, with Catterall holding top spots in multiple sanctioning bodies: WBC #2, WBO #2, IBF #3, and WBA #5. Meanwhile, Prograis is rated WBA #7, IBF #7, WBO #7, and WBC #12. With so much at stake, this bout is expected to be an intense, action-packed affair.
