Devin Haney poised to beat Regis Prograis ahead of Saturday’s showdown

Regis Prograis is poised to defeat ‘The Golden Child’ Devin Haney this Saturday night when the two meet in a light welterweight showdown in their legacy-defining contest on December 9th.

Haney (30-0, 15 KOs), the challenger, will go up against WBC light welterweight champion Prograis (29-1, 24 KOs) live on DAZN at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. Devin’s dad, Bill Haney, predicts that Prograis is in for a “vicious, hellacious a** whipping” that he won’t soon forget on Saturday night. For Prograis, he can’t wait to put the oddsmaker & fan favorite ‘Golden Child’ Haney in his place to show the world how wrong they were about him.

The success that Haney had at lightweight, winning all four titles to become the undisputed 135-lb champion, is meaningless and immaterial to where he’s at now, fighting one of the biggest punchers in the 140-lb division. If Haney can’t cut it in this division against Prograis, then it doesn’t matter what he did in the past. This is now. The ambitious Haney feels that this is just a continuation of what he’s done in the past at 135, and he’s ready to snatch Prograis’ WBC 140-lb belt on Saturday.

“Right now, I’m at the point where I’m competing against myself. It’s me in greatness. I’m trying to be the best me that I can possibly be and outdo myself,” said Devin Haney.

“I’m at the point where I feel unstoppable. My body is mature. My body feels so much better at this weight, and I can’t wait to show the world how much better I am at 140. That’s the best thing, me being able to eat more, rest more in this camp,” said Haney.
