Junior welterweight boxer Regis Prograis (22-0, 19 KOs) is one of the sport’s most exciting up-and-coming talents. Having turned professional in 2012, “Rougarou” is regarded as one of the best (if not the best) fighters in his weight class. He’s currently the WBC interim champion, and by 2019 he’ll be poised to become a unified titleholder in his division through the World Boxing Super Series.
Not only is the Louisiana-native seemingly on his way to becoming a major name in boxing, he’s very much in tune with the MMA world. Over the weekend, Prograis attended Shooto Brazil 86 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and met up with former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo.
