San Francisco’s Chase Center is about to be lit with electric excitement this December 9. The world will be watching as boxing greats Devin Haney and Regis Prograis go toe-to-toe, battling for the WBC World Super-Lightweight crown.
Brought to you live and exclusive by DAZN PPV in North America and streamed LIVE on DAZN worldwide.
DEVIN HANEY:
“I’m prepared to utterly defeat him. I’m grateful for this position; it’s a realized dream. This fight is significant for boxing and a massive chance for me, having always envisioned myself as a champion in two weight divisions. Retaining my titles thrills me, but challenging Regis, the top in the 140 division, is equally thrilling. However, I’ll demonstrate that I’m in a superior league and the finest. The anticipation for this fight is real, and I expect it to be explosive. I’m leagues ahead of him.
“Reviewing the past, I challenged you [Regis Prograis] even before the [Danielito Zorilla] fight. If I couldn’t secure a major fight at 135, you were my target at 140. Your performance was irrelevant; you were next. This is the inaugural fight at Chase Center and a significant event in the Bay Area after a while. I’m elated to be the one, fulfilling my promise to revive major boxing here.”
REGIS PROGRAIS:
“There’s no point in endless arguing, and I don’t engage in mind games. Maybe he’s underrated. I’ve heard rumors of them paying to erase defeats, but that’s inconsequential to me. I’m focused on the upcoming fight, indifferent to whatever advantage you possess. It’s about our imminent clash. I assess him based on his current form, as that’s who I’ll be confronting. His history is irrelevant; my focus is squarely on the present duel, and that excites me. I’m confident in my knockout ability.
“I won’t divulge a lot, but he’ll be caught off guard by my abilities. I’ve dedicated myself tirelessly, training and sparring in LA and Texas consistently. This isn’t a ‘technique against strength’ scenario; it’s ‘technique matched with technique, with my added strength. This fight is my stage to showcase my refined skills. A shout-out to Zorilla if he’s tuning in. Had I overwhelmed Zorilla quickly, I doubt he [Haney] would have accepted this fight. Despite a subpar performance that night, our fight is set for December 9. I intend to retain my title, refusing to relinquish it. I’m convinced I’ll defeat him.”
