Devin Haney was nonetheless taking pictures at Regis Prograis at the moment on X, telling him that he must “retire” after his loss final weekend. Prograis (29-3, 24 KOs) responded that he gained’t be retiring and be a world champion once more. The New Orleans native Prograis is planning on shifting as much as 147, which is a wide-open division with quite a lot of alternatives for him to seize a belt.
Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) bent out of form about Prograis, saying that Jack Catterall is one of the best fighter he’s fought throughout his profession.
Although Prograis modified his thoughts at the moment, saying in an interview that he doesn’t actually consider that Catterall is one of the best, Haney was nonetheless taking pictures at him on social media.
Within the newest remark from Haney, he instructed Prograis on X, “OK, Regis, don’t retire. Come to camp after I struggle Catterall.” In different phrases, Haney needs Prograis to be a sparring companion. Prograis then fired again, telling him that he thinks Haney could be “Bipolar.”
If Prograis can get his arms on one of many belts at 147, Haney would be the needy one subsequent yr, particularly if he loses to Catterall or Ryan Garcia. It’s unknown if Haney will get the possibility to struggle Catterall as a result of he needs His Excellency Turki Alalshikh to return via to place that struggle collectively, and he could not see it as worthy of a struggle on one among his prestigious Riyadh Season occasions.
“I feel Ryan ruined him for positive. I don’t assume he ruined me,” stated Regis Prograis to MillCity Boxing about Devin Haney. “Ryan beat the s*** out of him. Devin beat me in a boxing match, however he didn’t beat the s*** out of me.
“I feel Ryan most likely did destroy him. We’ll solely see by his subsequent struggle. Let him go struggle Catterall. If Devin is speaking all that s***, let him go struggle Catterall. Go to the UK and struggle Catterall subsequent. I assure that they’re most likely not going to do this, after which we’ll see who is absolutely ruined.”
We gained’t know if Ryan Garcia ruined Haney till he fights subsequent. If Haney will get destroyed by somebody like Catterall, who isn’t an enormous puncher, it’s secure to say that Ryan ruined him.
“Jack punches tougher than Devin for positive,” stated Prograis when requested who punches tougher between Haney and Catterall. “Devin dropped me as a result of I used to be off steadiness. I really feel like I used to be a approach higher fighter now than after I [fought Haney]. In San Francisco, I wasn’t there. I fought terribly.
“Right here, on Saturday, I used to be free, feeling good. Jack punches tougher than Devin for positive. Jack is actual calm. He’s higher than you assume he’s. While you take a look at him, ‘I’m going to smoke this boy,’ however then you definitely get within the ring. He’s higher than you assume he’s.
