Devin Haney is ready to clash with Regis Prograis in a super-lightweight blockbuster at Chase Center in San Francisco, California on Saturday December 9. 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. 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. ‘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.

David Benavidez will defend his interim WBC super middleweight title against Demetrius Andrade atop a November 25th Showtime PPV at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Benavidez (27-0, 23 KO) scored his biggest win to date in March by battering Caleb Plant to end a 10-month layoff and defend the belt he claimed in his sole 2021 bout, a second-round finish of David Lemieux. Andrade (32-0, 19 KO) has enjoyed a far less glamorous couple of years; 2022 saw him line up for a super middleweight final eliminator against Zach Parker, injure his shoulder, withdraw after the next purse bid produced a fraction of the initial offering, and then give up his middleweight title rather than fight Janibek Alimkhanuly.
