Zepeda and Prograis pass the 7-day pre-weigh in

Jose Zepeda and Regis Prograis clash for the vacant WBC super lightweight on November 26 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, CA.

It`ll Be broadcast live on pay-per-view, in a card presented by MarvNation Promotions.

The WBC belt became vacant on July 1, when Scotland’s Josh Taylor (19-0, 13KOs) relinquished the crown in lieu of a mandatory title defence against Zepeda.
Zepeda was originally due to fight with former champion Jose Carlos Ramirez, whose own desire to challenge for a second title reign was affected by the delay in the belt becoming available.

Ramirez faced and defeated former two-division titlist Jose Pedraza in March, taking the fight with the intention of next challenging for the title ahead of his already scheduled October wedding. The timing of the order conflicted with his out-of-ring calendar, with Ramirez agreeing to stand down and face the winner of the next ordered vacant title fight.

Prograis (27-1, 23KOs) previously held the WBA title, claiming the belt in a sixth-round knockout of Kiryl Relilkh in April 2019 during the semi-final round of the World Boxing Super Series 140-pound tournament. Prograis lost the belt to Taylor via majority decision in their October 2019 WBSS final in London, having since won three straight bouts.
The WBC recognizes the professionalism of both warriors, who presented their 7-day pre-weighing, demonstrating that they are in excellent shape for this important fight.
We admire their commitment and their teams to meet these important requirements and we wish them the best of luck in this fight, which will undoubtedly be one of the best of the year.
