Regis Prograis is determined to put his loss to Devin Haney behind him as he prepares for his upcoming bout against Jack Catterall this weekend in Manchester. Prograis attributes his defeat to mental lapses during his fight camp, saying distractions and a change in trainers hindered his focus.
Reflecting on his last fight, Prograis admitted, “With the Haney fight, it was a mind thing for me. I had a long camp, I changed trainers, and mentally everything that could’ve gone wrong did.” He also mentioned how he got too caught up in the pre-fight talk, letting Haney’s camp get into his head.
