Regis Programais said WBC lightweight champion Subriel Matias is the champion who best suits his style. Prograis (30-3, 24 KOS) hopes to win the title immediately after winning 10-round unanimous victory by Joseph “Jojo” Diaz last Saturday.
Prograis fights against Saudi Arabia
If Regis, 36, cannot win one of the world titles at 140, he wants one “Big Money” Fight and interested in fighting in Saudi Arabia on a card in Turki Alalshikh.
Matias fought his No. 22 fight Dalton Smith, his strongest challenger. If he wins in that game, he will need to fight former WBC champion Alberto Puello as he has a rematch clause in the July 12 battle.
“I just want two things – Belts or large sums of money. If I can’t get that, maybe 147. Millcity Boxing About expectations for defeating Joseph Diaz last Saturday. “Ryan (Garcia) is with the King Boy. So, why not do that?”
It is questionable whether Prograis will win any world title at the age of 140, because they have no reason to fight him. He has lost twice in the last three games and it hasn’t been easy for him. Ideally, what Prograis needs is Turki showing some interest in using his interests in one of his activities. That hasn’t happened yet.
Will Turkey choose Programais?
“I’ll go to Saudi Arabia to get a big sum of money there. At 140, they got Matias, Gary Russell, Teofimo and Hitchins. Whichever I can get.” “I think Gary Russell or Mattias.”
If Turki chose Prograis, he hoped he could fight someone, which would be bad for him, as his boxing seemed to abandon him in his last three battles.
“No, not now,” when asked if he wanted to go with Brian Norman Jr on 147.
“Matias is the best for me,” Prograis said.
