Devin Haney seemed to clown Regis Prograis today in reaction to him graciously saying in an interview that he has more tools than Jack Catterall. Rather than saying thank you, Haney invited him to his camp when he began training for Catterall.
Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) is hoping His Excellency Turki Alalshikh will take an interest in putting a fight together between him and Catterall. It’s questionable whether he will.
Prograis responded to Haney’s mocking comment, saying, “I think you might be bipolar, bro.”
It seemed weird that Haney would invite former WBA and WBC light welterweight champion Prograis (29-3, 24 KOs) to camp, seemingly as a sparring partner, when he had complimented him with the “tools” comment.
Last Saturday night, Haney seemed annoyed when Prograis told Catterall that he was the best fighter he’d have fought during his career following his 12-round unanimous decision loss at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England. Haney then posted on x, saying, “I ruined Regis and beat him worse than Catterall. Regis is just bitter.”
If that wasn’t enough, Haney said that Prograis should “retire” and that he doesn’t have a chin. That comment is rich coming from Haney, considering what Ryan Garcia just did to him on April 20th, knocking him down three times in a one-sided 12-round decision win in Brooklyn, New York.
Prograis answered back to Haney, saying, “No, I’m not retiring. I’m going to be champion again.” Regis will be moving up to welterweight, and he’s got an excellent chance of defeating one of the three champions to become a two-division world champion. If Prograis captures a title at 147, a rematch with Haney could be in the cards in the future if Devin doesn’t retire in 2025 if things go badly for him in his comeback.
Ok Regis don’t retire.. come to camp when I fight Catterall https://t.co/yIwVVBuexC
