Regis Prograis (24-0, 20 KOs) and Josh Taylor (15-0-12 KOs) both made weight at heated weigh-in ahead of their WBSS Super-Lightweight Ali Trophy Final at The O2 Saturday in London.
Prograis vs Taylor, WBSS Super-Lightweight Ali Trophy Final with the WBA, IBF & Ring Magazine World titles on the line:
Prograis weighed in at 9st 14lbs 15oz/139.9lbs, Taylor at 9st 13lbs 9oz/139.6lbs before the pair went head-to-head for the last time in front of a huge crowd at East Wintergarden in London.
Regis Prograis, USA, WBA ‘Super’ World Champion & WBC Diamond Champion, tournament No. 1 seed (63,5 kilo):
“Somebody’s throwing that towel in because I’m going to stop him guaranteed,” vowed Prograis after trading insults with his rival during the intense stare-down. “Everything is good, I’m going to beat the ***t out of him tomorrow. We were cursing each other, I was saying I was going to stop him, he was saying he was going to stop me. But I’m going to stop him guaranteed.”
Josh Taylor, Scotland, IBF World Champion & WBC Silver titlist, tournament No. 2 seed (63,3 kilo):
“Since this tournament was created I’ve dreamed and envisioned lifting that trophy,” said Taylor.
“I can’t wait to do a number on this mouthpiece, I’m going to shut him up. He’s going to sleep, he’s going back to America with his tail between his legs.”
The WBSS Super-Lightweight Ali Trophy Final at The O2 in London on October 26 is shown live via Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and DAZN in the U.S.
