Josh Taylor and Regis Prograis weigh-in ahead of fight

Josh Taylor and Regis Prograis attempt to unify the light welterweight division tonight and take a step towards superstardom.

Both fighters are unbeaten and possess the skills required to become genuine crossover stars.

With the Muhammad Ali Trophy on the line in the World Boxing Super Series final, this contest has the ingredients to be a fight for the ages.

Patience is likely to be key here with both fighters able to box, counter or brawl, yet the fighter who leads risks presenting openings for their rival. But once this one catches fire, fans should be in for a genuine treat.

Here is everything you need to know about the big fight.

Prograis: 8/11

Taylor: 5/4

Prediction

This should be a fascinating battle between two elite fighters, who set up in the southpaw stance. Both have power and the ability to work off the back foot or take the initiative.

This one could go the distance and Taylor may edge it due to the home crowd advantage, his bodywork ought to be key in a razor thin decision.
