As Regis Prograis and Devin Haney came face-to-face for their highly anticipated title bout, the result surprised a lot of fans. Prograis lost his WBC super lightweight championship to Haney in a convincing manner. Even though he was stunned several times during the fight he lasted all 12 rounds. Thus instead of a knockout victory, Haney ended up winning the bout via a unanimous decision.

However, even after losing his title, Prograis showed off impressive sportsmanship as he gave Haney his props. After spending months away from the family to prepare for the fight, he finally returned to them recently. He even shared a video of himself hugging his daughter on Twitter. In the caption, he revealed, “Been in a long training camp for a few months. This my first time seeing my baby.” The post melted the hearts of the fans.
