Unbeaten super lightweight Regis “Rougarou” Prograis (24-0, 20 KOs) dethroned WBA champion Kiryl Relikh (23-3, 19 KOs) by sixth round TKO in a World Boxing Super series 140lb semi-final on Saturday night at the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Prograis knocked down Relikh with a body shot late in round one and cut Relikh on the bridge of the nose in round two. Relikh’s only highlight was when he staggered Prograis with a punch after the bell in round two. After that, Prograis continued to break down Relikh until Relikh’s corner finally halted the punishment at 1:36 of round six.

“I told y’all beforehand, I’m the real deal. These boys can’t f*ck with me,” Prograis said afterward. “I f*cking just dominated the whole time.”

Prograis can look forward to fighting Josh Taylor or Ivan Baranchyk in the WBSS final.
