World Boxing Council super lightweight champion, Regis Prograis, will defend his title against Puerto Rican boxer Danielito Zorrilla, on Saturday June 17 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Prograis (28-1, 24 KOs) became the 140-pound world champion by knocking out Jose Zepeda in 11 rounds at Dignity Health in California last November.

The 34-year-old New Orleans native has defeated Juan Heraldez, Ivan Redkach, Tyrone McKenna, Jose Zepeda in his most recent bouts.

Zorrilla (17-1, 13 KOs), promoted by former champion Miguel Cotto, has a sterling opportunity to win the WBC Green and Gold title on June 17, replacing the injured Liam Paro. The 29-year-old has beaten the likes of Pablo César Cano and lost a decision to Arnold Barbosa Jr.
