When Sam Jones woke up today, he probably didn’t expect to be the talk of the boxing world.
But that’s exactly what has happened.
And it’s all because of Regis Prograis.
In the press conference for his fight against Jack Catterall, Prograis shared something very interesting.
After being taunted by Jones, American Prograis played voicenotes he had received from Jones stating that he’d beat Catterall.
Why is this so interesting?
It’s because Sam Jones is the current manager for Jack Catterall.
Awkward.
Any time that a boxer hears that their management rates someone better than them, it’s not good.
After initially claiming that Regis Prograis was lying about the messages, Sam Jones quickly backtracked and said that the comments were made years ago.
This is what seems to be the case and wasn’t challenged by Prograis.
Taking the conversation onto social media, Sam Jones has now responded further to the voicenote shared by Regis Prograis.
Writing on his Twitter / X account, has written a series of messages following the incident.
Firstly, Jones doubles down that it was a long time ago as he states that he was working with Prograis at the time and was trying to make the Prograis vs Catterall fight.
He then sends a direct message to Regis Prograis that everyone involved can all dig old messages up.
Firstly I was working with Regis at the time and was trying to make the Prograis Catterall fight. We can all dig messages up Regis. https://t.co/UoR8YD7WAc

But the messages from Sam Jones didn’t stop there.
In a further message, Jones mentions that the messages were over 3 years ago in 2021.
He then takes a shot at Regis Prograis about sharing the voicenote and implies that’s a negative trait in the New Orleans southpaw.
Not stopping there, he tweets a third time when an X user says that Jones and Prograis should come face to face in the Sky Sports production The Gloves Are Off.
Sam Jones states he’d be more than happy to do that.
Whatever the case may be in regards to that, it seems that the revelation from Regis Prograis has gotten under the skin of Jones.
He will be hoping that his man Jack Catterall gets a semblance of revenge by defeating Prograis on Saturday.
It was in 2021 and I was trying to convince Regis to fight jack. I’ve got receipts of @RPrograis in shit he wouldn’t like being brought up. It is what it is. Thats the type of man he is. https://t.co/pYglyDehXZ
