The 12-round fight will be the central event of the boxing evening in San Francisco
WBC world junior welterweight champion Regis Prograis and former undisputed world lightweight champion Devin Haney had a battle of views.
On December 9, the 12-round fight will be the central event of the boxing evening in San Francisco. The boxers will fight for Prograis’ WBC belt at the Chase Center, home of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors.
Haney will fight for the first time at junior welterweight. Previously, the WBC allowed Devin to change divisions for the title fight. Haney also finally renounced the lightweight belts.
In his last fight, Haney defeated Ukrainian Lomachenko in the fight for the title of absolute world lightweight champion. Prograis defended his junior welterweight title with a split decision win over Danielito Zorrilla in June.
