Probellum, the new promotional outfit headed by Richard Schaefer, has announced the signing of former WBA super lightweight world champion Regis Prograis (26-1, 22 KOs). Prograis is currently ranked #3 with the WBC, #4 with the WBA, #5 with the IBF and #7 with the WBO.
He joins unbeaten welterweight contender Eimantas Stanionis in the Probellum stable. “This is just the start of what will be an extremely stacked roster of talent at Probellum,” said Schaefer.
News on when Prograis will have his first fight under the Probellum promotional banner will be announced soon.
I think they misspelt problem.. Hmm..
Hopefully this works out for Prograis. He’s an excellent fighter presumably coming up on the second half of his prime at 32-33, he should be in there with some of the best at 140.
I agree, Lucie. I like this guy and I like his chances. If he can stay active, he should be right in the mix for a money fight. Like a lot of fighters, he is probably suffering from some public “amnesia” due to 2020. He needs a name-recognition opponent soon (and win, of course) to get there, imo.
Definitely, I know they were trying to make the fight with Mikey Garcia, but that didn’t work out. It would have been great for whoever won it and I would have taken Prograis over Mikey.
Didn’t know about Mikey. That would have been interesting. I see if I can find some info- interesting to see why it flamed out. I (kinda) agree with you. Regis wins (seemingly) on points and Mikey gets the decision. Ha ha. But yeah, something like that captures far more attention than Redkach.
