Regis Prograis: “I think there is so much tremendous
talent here. I'm really blessed to be here and be around the guys that I train
around. A lot of my friends and the people I train around are already world
champions and I see the work ethic that they put in to be in the position
they're in. It's a great motivator. Just being around them is a big inspiration
and lets me know that I can make my dream a reality one day, if I keep doing
the things I'm doing and have patience.”
Q: Why did
you get into Boxing?
Regis Prograis: “I got into Boxing because I was
always rough growing up. I actually love fighting. I remember growing up that I
would always want a challenge. I'm just a competitor and I like to prove I'm
the best. What really made me start boxing
was that when I was in high school and played football and the team
would always get in the gloves and spar. I started whooping bigger dudes every
week. One day the offensive coordinator for the football team came and saw me
beating up on one of the seniors and he told me that I didn't have a future in
football and that I needed to quit and start boxing. I turned my equipment in
the next day and the rest is history. True Story!”
Q: How do you feel about
the upcoming event in Galveston, Texas?
Regis Prograis: “I'm excited to be
fighting back in Texas. I haven't fought here in a while. The last time I
fought in Texas was my 4th pro fight in Houston. I'm ready to show everybody
how much I have improved since then. New Orleans is always in my heart but
Houston is where I live and anytime that I can fight in Texas or Louisiana I
consider it a major plus. Galveston is going to be excited on the 28th.”
Q: What motivates you
during training?
Regis Prograis: “I just go. I love the sport and I just want to prove that I'm
the best and hopefully to one day I am one of the best in the world. In training
I never take a round off. I go hard every round from start to finish.”
Q: What is
it like to get hit by a punch?
Regis Prograis: “It's really difficult
to describe that feeling. I think the worst punches are body shots. They can
freeze you and make your body seem paralyzed. When I first begin boxing I
actually liked getting hit. I had the macho man mindset that I can take any
punch and not be phased by it. But now I'm older and wiser. I'm pretty good now
at not getting hit with anything flush. Especially when it comes to head
shots!! They can freeze you and make your body seem paralyzed. I try to make my
opponents worry about getting hit; I like to cause the pain.”
Regis Prograis is an
accomplished amateur boxer with a professional record of 7-0 (5KO).
Regis is scheduled to
return to the ring on March 28th in Galveston, Texas for the Night
of Champions promoted by Pope Promotions.
