The fight is expected to take place in Carson, California.
World title fight WBC junior welterweight between Jose Cepedoy (35-2, 27 KOs) and Regis Prograis (27-1, 22 KOs) will be held on November 26.
The exact location of the fight has not yet been established. The fight will most likely take place at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
The bout is organized by MarvNation Promotions, which offered a $2.4 million prize pool. Previously, the boxers were unable to independently agree on the budget of the fight within the deadline, and the WBC determined the organizers at the promotional auction.
Cepeda holds the WBC Silver welterweight title, which he won in October 2020 after defeating Belarusian Ivan Baranchik. Since then, José has made three successful defenses against Henry Lundy, Josue Vargas and Francisco Pérez.
Prograis is a former WBA light welterweight world champion. He entered the ring in March of this year and won by technical knockout in the first round of British Tyrone McKenna.
Recall that Josh Taylor relinquished his WBC light welterweight title in early July. The Scot has vacated the title and will not defend it.
