Prograis-Hooker clash announced for April 17

Former super lightweight world champions Regis Prograis (24-1 20 KOs) and Maurice Hooker (27-1-3 18 KOs) will clash in a 143lb catchweight fight on Friday, April 17 at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, live on DAZN. This is a crossroads collision that will put the winner on the doorstep of another world title. Both fighters have had recent losses in major bouts.

Prograis traveled to London in October to take on Josh Taylor in a unification clash and the final of the World Boxing Super Series, with Taylor edging out ‘Rougarou’ via majority decision in an all-out war.

In July, Hooker hosted José Ramírez in a unification bout in Dallas, and the pair served up a back-and-forth shootout that Ramirez won via stoppage in the sixth round.

  • Great night of boxing. We did not have to wait forever for the next fight. I still think mikey carrying to much weight for his frame. Parker looked in pretty good condition for his fight. Impressive! Chocololito fought hard for his victory but that man gets hit to much in the head region. I really do think he should consider retirement. Great champion though! Thanks for putting on a great show DAZN.

  • Good fight. Probably both could have took easier routes back but thee is so many good fights and fighters, 1 loss is nothing. Glad people are fighting now even with different networks. Long may it continue, boxing is strong at the moment
