Former junior welterweight titleholders Regis Prograis and Maurice Hooker will meet on April 17 in Oxon Hill, Maryland on DAZN.

The rebuilding process for Regis Prograis and Maurice Hooker reportedly will begin against one another.

The former junior welterweight titleholders, who lost their belts and the zeroes in their loss columns last year, will meet on April 17 at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, on DAZN, according to BoxingScene.com.

Also on the card, Luke Campbell will face Javier Fortuna for a vacant lightweight title.

Prograis (24-1, 20 KOs) lost a close majority decision and his title to Josh Taylor on Oct. 26 in London. The New Orleans native was knocking on the door of pound-for-pound recognition going into that fight.

Hooker (27-1-3, 18 KOs) was less effective against Jose Ramirez on July 27 in Arlington, Texas, losing his title by a sixth-round TKO. The Dallas product rebounded with a first-round knockout of Uriel Perez in December.

Campbell (20-3, 16 KOs) is coming off a one-sided decision loss to lightweight titleholder and pound-for-pound king Vassiliy Lomachenko on Aug. 31 in London. He is from Hull, in northern England.

Fortuna (35-2-1, 24 KOs) has beaten Sharif Bogere (UD 10) and Jesus Cuellar (TKO 2) since he lost a split decision to then-lightweight titleholder Robert Easter in January 2018. Forunta is Dominican.
