In a surprising twist to an already buzzing boxing landscape, prominent promoter Eddie Hearn has thrown a curveball into the narrative surrounding WBC super lightweight world champion Regis Prograis’ promotional future. Amidst widespread speculation and reports suggesting that Prograis was on the verge of signing a three-fight deal with Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing. A recent development has cast doubt over the certainty of such an arrangement.

As boxing enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the next move of the New Orleans native, this unexpected turn of events adds an element of intrigue to the unfolding story. With Prograis’ impressive professional record and the impact his decision could have on the super lightweight division, the boxing world remains on the edge of its seat wondering what lies ahead for the talented fighter.

Eddie Hearn’s Statement contradicts previous reports

Many believed that a deal between Regis Prograis and Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing was all but sealed. However, a recent tweet from boxing journalist Michael Benson has shed new light on the situation. Benson shared Hearn’s response to the signing rumors, stating, “Eddie Hearn has insisted that he’s not signed Regis Prograis as yet. Hearn has held talks with the WBC super-lightweight world champion. But said nothing is agreed and no deal is close or imminent.”

This revelation comes after multiple reports suggested that Prograis, who boasts a professional record of 28 wins and 1 loss, had chosen to sign a three-fight deal with Matchroom Boxing. Moreover, his fights are slated to be streamed on DAZN. The 34-year-old fighter has been searching for a new promoter. He is currently signed with Probellum. Apart from Matchroom Boxing, Prograis had also been considering a longer offer from Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc.
