Can Regis Prograis silence the Manchester crowd and claim his path to a third world title?

A three-time world champion—that’s the ambition Regis Prograis harbors as he steps into the hostile territory of Manchester. The American fighter has done it before, turning a deaf ear to the booing crowd and leaving the arena with an impressive win. But can he do it against Jack Catterall, with a title opportunity on the line in an already crowded division?

The fans have waited long for the high-voltage and high-stakes fight after months of buildup, especially when the fight got pushed from an August date. But an injury to Catterall, 31, derailed the fight. The two will finally meet in the middle of the squared circle and attempt to turn in a performance that puts the champions at 140 on alert. If you are a boxing fan and want to catch the action live, then EssentiallySports has you covered.

Catterall, at 29-1, and Prograis, at 29-2, will fight it out this Saturday, October 26 at the Co-op Live in Manchester. The 20,000-seater Arena only recently opened its doors in May of this year for the fans, right in the heart of Manchester City. The venue has since hosted UFC 304, headlined by Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad, and will continue to host other electrifying events in the city. But what time will the action kick off?

The American fans can sit before the screens at 2 pm EST and watch the proceedings undergo. The British fans can either buy tickets to the fight or stream the event at 7 pm BST. But if you are someone who only wants to watch the main event and its ring walks, you can tune in around 5:30 pm ET, if you are watching it from American soil, or around 10:30 pm BST, if you are a British fan. But which platform can you stream it live on?

Where can you stream Catterall vs. Prograis?

DAZN will broadcast the event live, and the bill will be available to all DAZN subscribers. Catterall vs. Prograis is not a PPV event, so you don’t have to pay extra on top of your subscription charges. If you haven’t subscribed to DAZN, you can do it in the UK for £9.99 a month, which ties you up to an entire year of action and boxing events. You can also pay £89.99 upfront and enjoy the services for a year. The same plans in the US are available at $19.99 per month or $224.99 for the entire year, which gives you access to all non-PPV Matchroom events and other programs.

Have an interesting take?

If you are planning to travel to Co-op Live, then tickets start from £47.95 and go as high as £396, which converts to $62 starter seats, and VIP tickets are as high as $513. If you are having second thoughts about the event, you can have a look at the undercard and make a call.

The mouthwatering undercard

Reece Bellotti vs. Michael Gomez Jr. (Super featherweight—for Bellotti’s British and Commonwealth titles)

Bellotti, at 19-5, is going through a late-career surge as he defends his British and Commonwealth titles against Gomez Jr., at 21-1, in the supporting act to the headliner. Bellotti is currently on a hot streak and might come all guns blazing and will try to rely on his explosive style to fend off the efforts of Gomez Jr., who is technically gifted. It’s a stylistic matchup, and the fans are in for a treat.

Campbell Hatton vs. James Flint (Super lightweight)

Hatton, 23, will try to exact revenge against Flint, 27, in the rematch of their previous. Pressure will be on Hatton to secure a win, bounce back strongly, and march ahead on a similar road as his father, Ricky Hatton. Will Flint hinder his path again? It remains to be seen.
