Regis Prograis stopped Jose Zepeda in the 11th round last Saturday to win the vacant WBC junior welterweight title. The win, which was his fourth in a row, helped put ‘Rougarou’ fully back on track following his lone pro loss — to Josh Taylor — in 2019.
However, Prograis’ happiness at adding a new belt to his collection has been tamped down somewhat due to an issue he is facing with his purse.
Yesterday the 33-year-old took to Twitter to claim that the $1.2 million check he was given by the fight’s promoter bounced at a Los Angeles area bank.
