‘This is home to me’: Regis Prograis readies for New Orleans title defense

The junior welterweight belt-holder continues looks to consolidate titles in a suddenly red-hot division while making New Orleans a destination for big-time boxing

Regis Prograis would never look past an opponent. But few in the world of men's professional boxing would blame him for making plans beyond his junior welterweight title defense Saturday in his hometown of New Orleans.

In Prograis's first fight since he knocked out Jose Zepeda in Los Angeles in November to win the World Boxing Council's 140lb belt, Danielito Zorrilla stands in his way.
