JACK CATTERALL recovered from a fifth-round knockdown to floor Regis Prograis twice and secure a unanimous points win over the US fighter in Saturday’s bout in Manchester.

Chorley’s Catterall, who avenged his defeat to Scotland’s former world champion Josh Taylor in May, dropped super-lightweight rival Prograis twice in quick succession in the ninth on his way to a convincing win.

The judges scored the contest 117-108, 116-109, 116-109 in Catterall’s favour as the 31-year-old won the WBO International belt and moved closer to a shot at a world title.
