Jack Catterall Faces Stern Test In Next Fight Against Former World Champion Regis Prograis Goes Down In Manchester On October 26th
Jack Catterall’s next fight sees the English boxing star take on former world champion Regis Prograis. Catterall’s next fight goes down on October 26th in Manchester, looking to end the year on a high before winning multiple world titles in 2025.
Jack Catterall Next Fight: When Does ‘El Gato’ Fight Regis Prograis?
Jack Catterall is back in action this weekend, as he faces Regis Prograis in his latest fight at super-lightweight. The Chorley man faces the former WBC World Super-Lightweight Champion at the new Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester, in a fight that he is the favourite with the best betting apps in the UK to be victorious in.
The last time boxing fans saw Catterall in action was back in May when he had his highly anticipated rematch with Josh Taylor. The bitter rivals fought once again over two years after their first controversial fight, with Catterall this time winning the rematch once and for all.
That victory has led to this fight against the former champion Prograis, who at one stage was regarded as #1 at 140-pounds for a brief period too. This fight is certainly a stern test for Catterall, who will have eyes on world honours next year.
Heading into 2025, it looks like next year could be the biggest of Catterall’s career yet. This could mean huge world title clashes with the likes of Teofimo Lopez or Devin Haney. Not to mention potential fights against other champions such as Shakur Stevenson, Ryan Garcia, Jose Ramirez or even Liam Paro.
It is unknown when exactly boxing fans can expect to see Jack Catterall’s next fight after Prograis. He will likely have Christmas off and go again in the new year. Don’t be surprised to see ‘El Gato’ back in action in the first four months of 2025 in a world title fight.
That being said, all of these plans will be thrown to the side if Catterall comes unstuck against Regis Prograis on October 26th. It is a tough fight, but one the Chorley man is more than capable of winning, and winning well at that.
Could Jack Catterall’s Next Fight Be For A World Title In Early 2025?
Should Jack Catterall get past Regis Prograis unscathed on October 26th, he will almost certainly get another shot at world honours in early 2025. Ultimately ‘El Gato’ should have been undisputed world super-lightweight champion already, but he wasn’t given the rub of the green against Josh Taylor back in their first fight.
With that being said, Catterall could argue he is the best 140-pound fighter in the world right now. World title shots are a must next year for the Chorley man, who could face any of the champions and feel like he has a strong chance of being victorious.
At just 31-years-old, Catterall still has a lengthy career ahead of him. There is no rush with him to a certain degree, but winning a world title, unifying and perhaps even becoming undisputed should be the aim for Jack Catterall in 2025 and beyond.
If His Excellency Turki Alalshikh continues with his heavy involvement in boxing, Jack Catterall could be a name to feature on the Riyadh Season cards going forward. With Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing working alongside the Saudis regularly, this is a real possibility.
The best boxing betting sites in the UK will likely favour Catterall going forward, no matter who he faces in the 140-pound division. Huge blockbuster fights against the likes of Teofimo Lopez, Shakur Stevenson, Devin Haney or even Ryan Garcia could be on the cards for ‘El Gato’ next.
Time will tell who Jack Catterall’s next fight is against after his bout on October 26th. Fingers crossed for more world title fights in 2025 for the fighting pride of Chorley.
