Haney has something special up his sleeves for Regis Prograis
In anticipation of his upcoming bout against Regis Prograis, Devin Haney openly expresses his assessment of Prograis as a “mediocre” fighter, attributing only one strength to his opponent. Speaking with DAZN ahead of the Saturday showdown, Haney delved into the life lessons boxing has imparted to him. He emphasized the invaluable virtues of discipline, highlighting how the sport parallels life, where a single mistake can have profound consequences.
He talked about Prograis and said, “A mediocre fighter. He has power, I think when he gets in there with someone on a different level, like me, I’ll embarrass him. I’ll handicap him of his best things, which is his only best power, his left hand, to show him that I’m on a whole different level.”
