DAMN! Gervonta Davis DELIVERED AN ULTIMATUM TO Shakur Stevenson / Devin Haney - Regis Prograis FIGHT

DAMN! Gervonta Davis DELIVERED AN ULTIMATUM TO Shakur Stevenson Devin Haney - Regis Prograis FIGHT Regis Prograis has no doubt in his mind that he is the toughest challenge for Devin Haney in the 140-pound class. He is also confident that he represents the biggest payday for the former 135-pound undisputed champion at the present moment. Prograis, the two-time junior welterweight titlist from New Orleans, will be defending his WBC 140-pound title on Dec. 9 at Chase Center in San Francisco against Haney in what will be Haney’s debut in the division. It will also be the first time Haney has fought in his hometown as a professional; Haney lives and trains in Las Vegas. “With Devin being undisputed at ’35, I think he had a lot of options,” Prograis told Boxing News. “You know, he had all the belts and when you have all the belts, you have a lot of different options with what you can do. And, obviously, he wanted the biggest fight with the biggest amount of money, and I think that was with me. I think the biggest amount of money was coming to fight me.” Haney vs. Prograis is promoted by Eddie Hearn of Matchroom, who signed Prograis to a multi-bout deal earlier this year. Haney, who is coming off a multi-bout stint with Top Rank, has had a previous working relationship with Hearn. The fight will be distributed on DAZN Pay-Per-View. The southpaw Prograis (29-1, 24 KOs) indicated that negotiations with Haney (30-0, 15 KOs) took longer than he expected and that there were complications regarding the date for the fight. But Prograis noted that he started his training camp well before the fight was a done deal, essentially right after his last fight, in the summer, against Danielito Zorrilla. “Since I heard his name, I started training,” Prograis said. Feeling underappreciated, Prograis expects a win over Haney to legitimize him in the eyes of his doubters. “I’m loving it,” Prograis said. “I feel like this is what I really deserve, that’s all. The main thing I became a champion, lost it, became a two-time champion three years later, and I still didn’t get the recognition that I deserve but I feel like this fight here is really going to put me on the map and get me the recognition that I deserve. I love everything about it.” Devin Haney is aware that he has been relatively susceptible to the straight left hands of southpaws throughout his career. The former undisputed lightweight champion from Oakland, Calif., is nevertheless confident that southpaw Regis Prograis will not have the same success as his previous opponents with that particular punch when they meet in the ring on Dec. 9 at Chase Center in Haney’s hometown of San Francisco for Prograis’ WBC 140-pound title. Haney (30-0, 15 KOs) made it clear he has a surprise or two waiting for Prograis (29-1, 24 KOs) if the New Orleans native decides to load up on left hands. hi “It’s true, I fought guys that were southpaws that hit me with left hands,” Haney told FightHype.com. “It’s just part of the learning process. “The left hand that Regis wants to land, of course, that’s what he wants to land. That’s what he’s gonna try to land. That’s for me to take away from him. I want him to throw it. He believes in the left hand, he will die by the left hand. “I want him to throw the left hand because that’s what’s been strong, that’s what they’ve seen me get hit with the most, more than any punch. So, it's for me to show him that he can't hit me with the left hand because that's what he's strong at and that's for me to take away from him.” hi “I feel like I just beat the best southpaw in the game,” Haney said. “The best, craftiest guy in the game. It’s only up from here.” The Top Rank company officially announced a boxing night on November 16 in Las Vegas with the participation of the world champion in two weight categories Shakur Stevenson and the WBO champion in the first lightweight Emmanuel Navarrete. The 26-year-old Stevenson will fight for the vacant WBC lightweight title against Dominican Edwin De Los Santos. Stevenson was counting on a fight against a more famous opponent, but only the sixth ranked Santos agreed to box with him for the title. "Santos is a good boxer, and I give him credit for agreeing to fight when many so—called 'fighters' have fled," Stevenson said. — I am the scariest character in boxing, and on November 16, everyone will see why when I show another impressive performance. Come and see how I will become a world champion in the third weight category."
