Regis Prograis indicates he might yet continue on as a professional boxer

Regis Prograis has indicated he might yet carry on with his professional boxing career.

After his decision loss to Jack Catterall in Manchester, England, on Saturday, the former two-time world champion from New Orleans indicated that his future might lie elsewhere and suggested he might head to the bareknuckle circuit.

However, he has since taken to X to write: “Might be time to move up. I’m tired of being skinny.”

Prograis then added with pictures from the Catterall fight: “No I’m not retiring. I will be champion again.”

In a conversation with Fight Hub TV, Prograis said Catterall was better than he thought he would be. “He’s an awkward fighter, but he’s definitely better than I thought.”  

When Prograis was asked whether Catterall was a better fighter than Devin Haney, who Prograis lost to in December, Prograis said: “I can’t say better or not. Nah, I think Devin has more tools. But I would say this about that: I was better as a fighter Saturday night than I was with Devin. The Devin fight, it wasn’t me at all, for sure. That wasn’t me at all. With this fight, I was more focused, I was more present. I was in the moment; even walking to the ring, I enjoyed myself. I can still replay everything in my mind. With the Devin fight, I really wasn’t there. I can’t say who is better. Both of them are good boxers, but what I can say is, I think Devin has more tools, though.”

In the aftermath of his win, Catterall took to social media to support Prograis should he choose to continue, writing: “Can still do damage in the 147-division good luck Regis.”

Meanwhile, Catterall and Haney have exchanged tweets about a possible fight, and Catterall also called out Liam Paro, as well as posting “Hello @TeofimoLopez.”
