Jack Catterall has suffered a training injury and his fight with Regis Prograis has been postponed.

The junior welterweights were due to collide on Aug. 24 at the new Co-op Arena in Manchester, England, but the amended date is likely to be in October.

Chorley’s Catterall is looking to press on after victory over Scottish rival Josh Taylor earlier this year, while the Houston-based Prograis is hoping to bounce back after defeat by Devin Haney at the end of 2023.

The 35-year-old Prograis (29-2, 24 KOs), who attended a press conference in England to announce the fight last month, on Tuesday was frustrated by the news of Catterall's injury.

“I have truly invested in myself for this training camp," Prograis said. "I was working my ass off in Las Vegas, setting up camp, paying for everything, doing everything I was supposed to do.

“Every day, I was busting my ass and watching Jack’s fights before I went to sleep. And now this happens. It’s very upsetting.”

The Jamie Moore-trained Catterall, 31, is 29-1 (13 KOs).

Their promoter, Eddie Hearn, had previously spoken of matching the winner with the IBF champion Liam Paro in Sydney or Brisbane in November, making it likely an alternative opponent will be sought for the Australian.
