Former junior welterweight champion Regis "Rougarou" Prograis announced his retirement from boxing following last weekend's loss to Conor Benn in London. Boxingtalk salutes Prograis, who leaves with a record of 30-4 after a pro career that spanned 2012-2026. He enjoyed two title reigns: as WBA champion commencing in 2019 and as WBC champion starting in 2022. Prograis tweeted: "Good fight Conor. It was a pleasure sharing the ring with you. Best of luck in your career... On to the next chapter of my life and part two of my book Stories & Lessons from Regis Prograis! Major thanks to everyone who supported me! My career was all about overcoming the odds stacked against me and not being afraid of chasing my dreams. I hope I inspired you to do the same!"
