In the aftermath of his defeat to Devin Haney on December 9 for the WBC World Super-Lightweight Title, here at SportsLens we have decided to take a deep dive into Regis Prograis’ career thus far. Read on to find out more about his boxing record, how many knockouts he has and who his best wins are against.
Regis Prograis Boxing Record
Regis Prograis is the former two-time WBC world super-lightweight king. The Louisiana man first became world champion back in 2018, before becoming a two-time world super-lightweight champion in November 2022.
‘Rougarou’ was champion until he was handily beaten by Devin Haney on December 9 in San Francisco, California. Prograis lost his WBC title for the second time, losing via wide unanimous decision to ‘The Dream’. He was a huge underdog with the best boxing betting apps, who weren’t wrong on this occasions.
Going into the Haney fight, Regis Prograis boasted an impressive boxing record of 29 wins to just one defeat. Of these 29 wins, Prograis had stopped all but five opponents by knockout. His updated record of 29-2 is one of the best in the division, and despite losing to Haney, Prograis is still widely regarded as one of the best at 140-pounds.
Having been involved in eight world title fights, winning six, Prograis is evidently an elite fighter. Although he fell short last time out against the elite Devin Haney, Prograis can certainly come again and could perhaps even become a three-time world champion in 2024.

Regis Prograis turned professional back in 2012 when he was just 23-years-old. Since then, the boxing mega-star has had a meteoric rise to the top of the super-lightweight division and is one of the biggest names in the sport of boxing right now.
March 2018 was when Prograis first became world champion. Having beaten Joel Diaz in a final eliminator, Prograis took on Julius Indongo for the WBC World Super-Lightweight Title. ‘Rougarou’ won the fight via emphatic knockout in Round 2, before then defending his belt against another undefeated fight.
Prograis then entered the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) and went in as the number one seed at 140-pounds. The New Orleans, Louisiana based fighter beat Terry Flanagan in the quarter-finals, before then beating Kiryl Relikh in the semi-final. Prograis defended his WBC world title on both occasions.
Prograis then faced Scotland’s Josh Taylor in the final of the WBSS, losing via the closest of marginal decision on the judges’ scorecards. He didn’t let that define him though, bouncing back with three wins over Juan Heraldez, Ivan Redkach and Tyrone McKenna before getting his shot at becoming a two-time world champion.

‘Rougarou’ did just that, defeating Jose Zepeda via knockout in the 11th round of their contest. Prograis was now a two-time world champion at super-lightweight, before then defending his world title belt against Danielito Zorilla two fights ago.
Then came the second defeat of his pro boxing career. Prograis lost comprehensively to Devin Haney in their main event bout at the Chase Center in San Francisco on December 9. However, his career is far from over as he bids to get back to winning ways in 2024.
That takes us up to now in the career of Regis Prograis. The American is clearly an elite fighter, and has the chance to become a three-time world champion if he can claim another world title belt at some stage before he hangs up his gloves for good.
