Matchroom - Haney vs Prograis

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Prograis (29-1 24 KOs) puts his WBC title on the line for the second time after successfully seeing off the Danielito Zorrilla on his New Orleans home patch in his first defense in April, 2023. 'Rougarou' became a two-time holder of the green and gold belt in November when he knocked out Jose Zepeda in the 11th round in Carson, California - and the 34 year old returns to The Golden State to face the former undisputed Lightweight king.

Haney (30-0 15 KOs) returns to his Bay Area roots in his quest to become a two-weight World champion, moving up from 135lbs having become undisputed after beating George Kambosos Jr in Australia in June 2022, and then successfully defended his crown twice, once in a rematch Down Under in October and then against modern-day legend Vasiliy Lomachenko in Las Vegas in May, and now the San Francisco-born 24 year old can make more history in his first fight on his home turf.

"Finally, we're ready to go on Saturday, December 9 and I can't wait to put on a show," said Prograis. "I've already started training camp and I'll be more than ready to do what I do best."

"Devin has done well at 135lbs but I'm the best in the world at 140lbs and I will prove that once again!"

"It's been a long time coming," said Haney. "It's been a dream of mine to fight in my hometown. I'm excited for the opportunity to become two-division World champion in The City [The Bay] where it all started. The energy in the building is going to be electric. I haven't fought at home since I was an amateur, so I'm looking for my city to show up and show out.

"As a kid, I always envisioned fighting at The Oracle in Oakland. Now with Chase Center, I have two dream locations with a bridge between them. So, my first order of business is to blow the roof off Chase Center on December 9 with an amazing event. I picked a focused and hungry champion to invite to my hometown. Regis is going to be trying to knock me out and that's exactly what I need him to be TRYING to do. This is what you do when you are the youngest promoter in boxing. I'm the real face of boxing. December 9. Legacy and Money."

"On paper this is a tough fight because it's my first fight at a heavier weight division. I'm comfortable with the plan have. God willing, I'm going to be stronger and faster than ever. I'm going to dominate him, and the Welterweight division will be put on notice.

"It's never personal, this is a business at the end of the day. We're two gentlemen at the end of the day, but when we get in the ring, we don't have respect for each other. I'm going to go in in there and do my job."

"I am thrilled that we can finally get our teeth into talking about one of the best fights of 2023," said promoter Eddie Hearn. "The build-up to this one is going to be like the fight itself - intense, fiery, and explosive. There is no love lost between them and bragging rights alone are a huge prize on offer, but with Regis wanting to prove he's the man to beat at 140lbs and Devin aiming to become a two-weight World champion as a homecoming hero, the stakes simply couldn't be higher on what promises to be an electric night of action in San Francisco."

"What a great night of boxing this will be", said Jared Kass, DAZN SVP North America, "A proper fighter's fight, which will see two of the divisions finest facing off in December in San Fran. Watch Davin Haney vs Regis Prograis live and exclusive on DAZN PPV on December 9."

Opening its doors in 2019, Chase Center is an award-winning 18,064-seat sports and entertainment arena in San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood that is home to the seven-time NBA champion Golden State Warriors and San Francisco's top events and performances.
