Boxingtalk salutes Regis Prograis on his retirement

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!"
