Regis Prograis: Fans Want Action Over an Undefeated Record

Prograis, of course, is no stranger to wars. His 2019 battle with Josh Taylor was one of the best of that year, too, and asked about recent comments regarding ‘Tom and Jerry boxing’, Prograis smiles: “I’m nowhere close to that. You know, Turki [Alalshikh], he’ll see I go in there and I fight. I think we’re moving past the era, the Floyd Mayweather era, where it was [all about being] undefeated. You know, he was undefeated. He kept the ‘0’ and he kept the ‘0’ no matter what happens; he’ll keep that if he makes it boring. But I think that we’re kind of past that right now. I think people want to have exciting fights. I mean, you don’t want to take it [the physical strain of a hard fight]. You don’t want to go out there and take crazy damage and stuff. But at the same time, it is boxing. You’re going to get hit and I think that people want us to have exciting fights. It gets the people talking.”
