Regis Prograis says WBC Light Welterweight Champion Subriel Matias is the champion who will best suit his style. Prograis (30-3, 24 food) wants an immediate title shot after his entertaining unanimous ten-round victory over Joseph ‘Jojo’ Diaz last Saturday.
Prograis target Saudi Arabia fights
If Regis (36) cannot get any of the world champions at 140 to fight against him, he wants a “Big money” Fight, and are interested in the fight in Saudi Arabia on one of Turki Alalshikh’s maps.
Matias is fighting his compulsory challenger, Dalton Smith, on November 22. If he overcomes in that match, he will have to fight former WBC champion Alberto Puello next, as he has a rematch clause of their battle on July 12.
“There are only two things I want – the belts or the big money. If I can’t do it, maybe 147, ”Regis Prograis says Millcity Boxing about his expectations after his victory over Joseph Diaz last Saturday. ‘Ryan (Garcia) is at Golden Boy. Then why not do this? ‘
It is doubtful that a world title will be shot by any of the champions at 140, because there is no reason for them to fight against him. He lost two of his last three fights, and he is not easy. Ideally, who needs Prograis, Turki is to show some interest in using him on one of his events. It has not happened yet.
Will Turki choose Prograis?
“I’ll go to Saudi and get some money there. At 140, they found Matias, Gary Russell, Theofimo and Hitchins. Whatever one I can get, ‘Prograis said about the world champions at Light Welterweight, he can target. “I think Gary Russell or Matias.”
If Turki chose Prograis, he would expect him to fight someone well, and it would be bad for him, because his punching resistance seems to have abandoned him in his last three fights.
“No, not now,” Regis said when asked if he was with Brian Norman Jr. at 147. Want to fight. “I want to do the same Devin did. You test the waters at 144, and then you go to 147. You can do something like that.
“Matias suits me the best,” Progais said of which champion at Light Welterweight would work best with his style.
