Fightnews.com® caught up with super lightweight champ Regis Prograis ahead of his super fight with the undisputed lightweight champ Devin Haney on Sat, Dec 9 at the Chase Center in San Francisco and live on DAZN ppv. Prograis gave an early prediction on a potential Canelo vs. Benavidez showdown next year and how he plans to destroy Haney in their matchup. He also talked about the talent at 140 and what a battle with Tank would look like and much more in this exclusive interview.

Let’s go prograis!!! !you the champ!!!
The beauty of this fight is I really don’t know who’s going to win. I would have to give Haney the edge, just because he’s Haney and he’s the one they’re trying to build as boxings next superstar. Prograis will have to win by KO or a very decisive decision…I hope he does!
Let’s go Rougarou! I don’t know about Haney’s fight with Loma being a draw as Loma got screwed a bit in that one but I’m still pulling for Regis. Prograis is a throwback fighter for certain and would probably have no difficulty making weight the day of the fight if they reinstituted same-day weigh-ins (which won’t happen but should happen).
You have to beat the champion decisively. It could have went either way.
Bringing boxn back to Frisco ya baby nice clean section also helped build chase center
Regis will fight in his weigh division
I can’t wait for this fight. Pragrais is finally getting his time against a bigger name in Haney. IMHO, he needs a KO to win or he has no shot at victory. Even though I wanted to see Haney take care of unfinished business at 135, I give him props for taking on an extremely dangerous Pragrais. Like Pragrais he was avoided by many (Lopez included who wouldn’t even say the man’s name). A must win for both. Haney needs to look impressive to redeem himself from his previous outing and Pragrais needs this win to establish himself as one of the top p4p fighters. He’s 34 and he may not get too many opportunities so now is the time.
So …you think Lopez is afraid of Regis prograis just because he doesn’t mention him??????
I’m pulling for Regis. He has already tweeted that he would fight Subriel Matias in 2024, I don’t feel that Haney would do the same if he won this fight. Besides Regis seems genuine and sincere compared to Haney. Haney tries to hard to be whatever image he is trying to sell us which I haven’t figured out yet.
Naaaaa prograis fighting Matías is like going backwards
Prograis gotta face bigger names
Matias is not ready for this yet
Prograis said he wants all the belts @140. He is going to need Matias’s IBF strap to accomplish that. Not Matias fault that Prograis wants all the belts.
That’s right
