Mike Safo with light welterweight champion of the world, Regis Prograis

Joined today by the 24-0 light welterweight champion of the world… the “Rougarou” Regis Prograis. Before we talk some boxing, we discuss Regis learning how to speak Portuguese, his basketball predictions, and his passion for reading. Regis tells us how cool it is to be a superhero to his 2 children and how his 5 year old son thinks he’s his financial manager. We hear that his passion for the “sweet science” came from his admiration for Mike Tyson and Roberto Duran and meeting Sugar Ray Leonard. The Champ tells us about being a role model in New Orleans, relocating in Houston after Hurricane Katrina and how all these obstacles molded him to a 24-0 record. The Rougarou tells us how it feels to have a target on his back now, his thoughts on the potential super fight with Josh Taylor and why he’s always calling out Ramirez. From his ideas to making boxing more mainstream to fighting Terence Crawford at 147 to his most prized Muhammed Ali possession, Regis Profrais really opens up, Follow Regis on the following sites: Twitter: @RPrograis Instagram: @regisprograis  His website: www.regisprograis.com
