Jack Catterall defeated Regis Prograis by unanimous decision in Manchester, setting himself up for a potential junior welterweight world title fight. Despite the fight being scrappy, Catterall showed resilience and secured crucial knockdowns in the ninth round. Prograis, who has been on a rocky path since losing to Devin Haney, was gracious in defeat, suggesting Catterall deserves a title shot next. The pre-fight press conference added drama, with Prograis playing an old voice note from Catterall's manager, Sam Jones, suggesting Prograis would 'flatten' Catterall. This revelation stirred significant attention, overshadowing what might have been a less notable non-title bout. The fight was a highlight on a card that also included wins for Jimmy Joe Flint and Pat McCormack.
