Jack Catterall and Regis Prograis will meet next weekend after their initial bout was postponed.
The two were meant to come head-to-head in August but the fight was pushed back due to Catterall suffering an injury.

The two are now ready to meet and it will be the first big boxing match to be held in the new Co-op Live Arena in Manchester.
Catterall heads into this fight off the back of a win over longtime rival Josh Taylor, so despite suffering an unspecified injury, he’ll be feeling good.
Meanwhile, his opponent lost to Devin Haney in December 2023, but he is a previous world champion.

Catterall vs Prograis: What has been said?
After having to postpone the initial fight through injury, Catterall is raring to go.
He said: “I’m delighted that a new date for my fight with Regis Prograis has been sorted so quickly.
“Big thanks to Matchroom, my team and Co-op Live for all of their hard work on this.
“To be the first boxer to headline at Co-op Live is going to be special and I’m really happy I’ll still get that opportunity.
“It was gutting having to pull out of a fight for the first time in my 30-fight career but I need to be fit and healthy going into one of the most important contests of my life.
“Thanks for everyone’s continues support and I’ll see you all on October 26!”
Meanwhile, Prograis is determined to become a world champion once again.
He said: “It’s one step closer to becoming a three-time champion. You know, that’s something I really, really want.
“It’s something that, for me, I have Muhammad Ali [tatted on my arm], that’s something he did. He became a three-time champion and that’s something that I really want.
“I know Jack wants to be a world champion also but for me, I did it twice already and I’m going to do it again.”
