Briton Jack Catterall\u2019s light-welterweight contest against Regis Prograis in Manchester on 24 August has been cancelled after he sustained an injury.<\/b><\/p>\n

The bout was set to headline the first boxing event to be held at the newly-built 23,500-capacity Co-op Live arena.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the card, which is also set to feature a WBO lightweight world-title contest between champion Rhiannon Dixon and fellow Briton Terri Harper, will be rescheduled.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time in my 30-fight career, I\u2019ve had to withdraw due to injury,\u201d said 31-year-old Catterall.<\/p>\n

The Chorley fighter has won 29 fights and lost one, a contentious points defeat to former undisputed world champion Josh Taylor in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping to have a new date very soon\u201d, added Catterall, who gained revenge over Scotsman Taylor in May.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cApologies to my opponent Regis. My health comes first and I always want to ensure I\u2019m at 100% walking into the ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
