War of Words: Regis Prograis and Devin Haney’s Twitter Feud Ignites Boxing Fans

Ever witness a digital duel between world-class boxers? If not, prepare for a thrilling spectacle. In an electrifying online encounter, titans of the boxing ring, Regis Prograis, and Devin Haney, have recently unleashed a whirlwind of jabs, not with fists, but with words. This isn’t your typical press conference face-off or a pre-match staredown. No, it’s the modern-age battlefield of social media where the fighters don their verbal gloves and their choice of an arena. Twitter.

The virtual gloves came off when Prograis, the proud holder of the World Boxing Council junior welterweight title, issued an audacious challenge to Haney, the undisputed lightweight champion. Could it be a clever ploy to goad Haney into moving up to super lightweight for a high-stakes match? Or just a humorous jab to stir the pot?

Meanwhile, Haney parried the verbal assault with a razor-sharp retort, enough to cut the tension you could almost feel it. His comeback, swift and spicy, set the digital realm on fire. This fiery exchange is not just another fleeting Twitter drama; it signals a brewing storm in the boxing world. However, what’s intriguing is the power dynamics at play here.

From virtual gloves to real ones: Prograis-Haney banter heats up

Stirring up the commotion, Regis Prograis, with unabashed confidence, tweeted, “Either Devin can stay there and get outboxed by Shakur or come up to fight me and get his teeth knocked out. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.” This statement did more than drop a hint; it painted a vivid picture of the imminent bout, either with Shakur Stevenson or Prograis himself.

Nonetheless, Haney, refusing to be on the back foot, retorted with equal fervor. His counterpunch packed a potent dose of sarcasm as he replied, “I know Shakur Stevenson beat the S**t out of you, we laughed bout how sorry you were after…🤦🏽‍♂️😭”

This verbal crossfire triggered a cascade of reactions among boxing enthusiasts. Jason Espiritu amusingly observed, “They’re really arguing about who Shakur would beat up less 😂”.

This sentiment of amusement rippled through the fan community. Another user added a speculative element, “Now imagine Shakur replying to this ‘I never told you that’!!!”

Rave moments, however, took a more critical stance, spotlighting the sport’s key issue, “It’s crazy all these dudes win belts but don’t want to defend them against the top guys 😂”. The statement sparks a debate on whether boxing champions are doing enough to defend their titles.

Further fueling the fiery exchange, a fan named Ant expressed his unwavering faith in Haney, stating, “Haney could beat Regis with one hand😂”.

Meanwhile, Jadarius Dean suggested a potential resolution, “Devin might as well fight Shakur🤦🏽‍♂️”.

This set of reactions encapsulated the diverse sentiments echoed across the boxing fandom.
