<\/a>Terry Flanagan believes he can neutralize Regis Prograis\u2019 strengths when they meet in an Ali Trophy Super-Lightweight Quarter-Final at the U.N.O. Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, USA on October 27.<\/p>\n\u201cI cannot wait for this fight to begin,\u201d said 29-year-old Flanagan. \u201cNew Orleans looks like a wonderful place but this is strictly business so hopefully I will be able to visit again after the fight to take in the attractions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Flanagan of Manchester, UK, a former WBO World Lightweight Champion, believes he can kickoff the 140 lb tournament in style coming back from a split decision World title defeat to Maurice Hooker in June. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe fans can expect me back at my best and giving Prograis a boxing lesson,\u201d said \u2018Turbo\u2019. \u201cHe looks like a very dangerous fighter and I like his style but he has not boxed anyone like me before.\u201d<\/p>\n
The World Boxing Super Series sees eight elite fighters in three different weight classes compete in a knockout style competition over several months, with quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final taking place until one man is left with the Muhammad Ali Trophy in his hands. This is as spectacular as it gets in boxing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m expecting some tough fights but that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m in this business for,\u201d said Flanagan.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see the fight against Prograis as 50\/50 with us both having our own strengths, but I just think my assets stop his and therefore I win. I think what I bring to the table neutralise his strengths and that is the difference. I expect to get the credit I duly deserve after winning this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
