“I am very excited about this fight,” Prograis said adding: “This is what I most wanted because it’ll prove who’s the best. My goal is victory.
“It has always been a dream for me to fight in London. Boxing fans in the UK are among the best in the world and I can’t wait. I know that once they see me fight, they will be my fans for life.
“Taylor, in my opinion, is a good, second after me. He had two great performances before the final and that why I’m really looking forward to fighting him.”
Taylor commented:
“I’m going to prove that I’m the best in the division by facing the best rivals. Now that the fight is finally official, I can focus on going to work in the gym and doing a great preparation.
“I am very sure that I can defeat him, I cannot see other than a victory for Josh Taylor on October 26. It’ll be just great to win the Muhammad Ali trophy and the WBC Diamond belt in front of a large crowd at The O2 Arena.”
