JACK CATTERALL and Regis Prograis will finally do battle in a super-lightweight showdown after their first initial date got postponed.
El Gato was forced to pull out of his August 24 encounter against Prograis after suffering an injury during his training camp.
And it was a huge blow for the English star as he was looking to build on his incredible win over long-term rival Josh Taylor three months before.
However, the huge fight has now been salvaged and it will see Catterall become the first boxer to headline the new Co-Op Arena in Manchester.
There will be no world title on the line as Prograis lost his WBC super-lightweight belt to Devin Haney in a one-sided unanimous decision bout.
But Catterall in particular will be aware that victory over the American star could see him move a step closer to a title shot.
