The Haney-Prograis bout is going to be big without question. Some were surprised by Haney's decision to fight Prograis, however, including Prograis himself.

“I’m definitely surprised. I respect him for that because I’m going to beat his a**,” Prograis said, via boxingnews24.com. “He’s coming up. He’s trying to do everything he can. He’s working with Freddie Roach. That s**t isn’t going to matter. I saw that he was hitting the heavy bag. He put on some size and was hitting the heavy bag.”

The fight will take place at Chase Center in San Francisco. Haney, who is from the city, is expected by many to win. However, Prograis is a WBC super lightweight champion.

It goes without saying, but this will prove to be a challenge for Devin Haney. The 24-year-old has emerged as a star but he's becoming more and more well known in the boxing world. This means everyone is preparing to fight him, so opponents like Prograis will be ready.
