Regis Prograis Defends Title Against Unbeaten Devin Haney in High-Stakes Boxing Match

Despite Being the Champion, Prograis Faces the Bout as the Underdog Against Haney

Regis Prograis, the WBC junior-welterweight world champion, is set to defend his title against the unbeaten Devin Haney in what is being touted as one of boxing's biggest fights of the year.
Haney, the former undisputed world champion in the division below at lightweight, is regarded by many pundits as the likely winner of the bout.
Prograis, who survived Hurricane Katrina and overcame poverty, is nine years older than Haney and is a two-time world champion.
Prograis believes his past adversity and experience of defeat have made him stronger and could give him an edge over Haney, who has never tasted failure.
Despite being the champion, Prograis is considered the underdog in the fight, with Haney being treated as the A-list fighter.
