Louisiana native Regis Progais defends his WBC Super Lightweight Championship for the first time when he clashes with once-defeated challenger Danielito Zorrilla at the King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Prograis, who moved to Texas after Hurricane Katrina, is ranked the world's best active super lightweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, The Ring magazine, and BoxRec. The champ who knocked out Jose Zepeda in November 2022 to win the title was originally billed to defend the 140-pound title against Liam Paro, who withdrew due to injury last month.

Boxing: WBC Super Lightweight Championship

Location: Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, USA

Where to watch: DAZN

Date: 18.06.2023. 00.00

Regis Prograis turned professional after an 87-7 amateur career. The Southpaw turned pro in 2015 and reeled off twenty-four consecutive wins. Scotsman Josh Taylor finally stopped him in the World Boxing Super Series Super Lightweight Tournament finals. His nickname "Rougarou" means Werewolf in Louisiana French, and he chose the animal because it is greatly feared in Louisiana folklore. Since losing the IBF crown to Josh Taylor, Prograis has won four fights, all by KO/TKO. The 34-year-old's resume includes twenty-four knockouts in twenty-eight bouts as former WBA light welterweight champion and former WBC-NABF light welterweight champion.
