Regis Prograis suffered another loss while meeting Devin Haney in the ring.

‘I’ve tasted defeat and frustration,’ he said to the Guardian before facing Haney. ‘I’ve been in a locker room after I lost and never want to go back there again.

‘When you taste failure, it makes you much stronger. Devin’s never had failure, so it’s hard to know how he will react.

‘So far, he’s been winning, but when it gets really hard on Saturday, he could potentially fold.’

After the fight, Prograis said, ‘I did everything I said I was going to do. I went in there, and I handicapped him.

‘We knew he was going to come in with a great left hand. My dad came up with a tremendous game plan, as well as my team.

‘I did what I said I was going to do.’

However, what happened was that Haney kept Prograis away with jabs all through the match, landing the most blows himself. Prograis struggled for most of the bout to land many blows of value.

Matchroom Sports’ promoter Eddie Hearn, thinks that Haney should face Ryan Garcia next.

‘We’ve got a guy on the same platform on DAZN. His name is Ryan Garcia,’ said Hearn. ‘For me, that’s a huge fight, Ryan Garcia against Devin Haney. Gervonta Davis against Devin Haney.

‘Huge fight. Teofimo Lopez against Devin Haney.

‘This is a guy I think will probably beat them all, and he’s going to be around for a long time.’

Hopefully, Regis Prograis will move on and become better.
