Haney, known for his style reminiscent of Prograis’ previous opponent, Danielito Zorrilla, will need to strategically use his jab and clinch to secure a win. With the fight being a PPV event, there are hopes that Haney will deliver an exciting performance, differing from his recent bouts against Vasily Lomachenko and George Kambosos Jr.

Haney’s recent bout against former three-division world champion Vasily Lomachenko ended in boos from the audience at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The decision to not offer Lomachenko a rematch and Haney’s subsequent move from the 135-lb division have impacted his popularity. Haney’s decision to avoid a defense against WBC mandatory Shakur Stevenson has further cast a shadow over his upcoming fight with Prograis.

Despite the controversies, both fighters are gearing up for what promises to be an electrifying match. Haney acknowledges Prograis’ knockout power, stating, “Regis is going to be trying to knock me out, and that’s exactly what I need him to be TRYING to do.” Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing has touted the bout as one of the year’s most anticipated fights, setting high expectations for both fighters to deliver in the ring.

In the co-main event, Australian Liam Paro (23-0, 14 KOs) is set to face Cleveland's Montana Love (18-1-1, 9 KOs) for the WBO Global junior welterweight title. Paro, coming off a sensational first-round knockout of Brock Jarvis in October 2022, is determined to claim a world title shot in 2024. Love, looking to rebound from a controversial disqualification in his last bout, views this clash as a critical step back into the world title scene.

In the undercard, Andy Cruz (1-0, 0 KOs) will be taking on Jovanni Straffon (26-5-1, 19 KOs). Straffon, known for his heavier hands, poses a significant challenge.
