WBC world title fight: Prograis vs Haney full fight card, date & time

Tonight in San Francisco, USA, a boxing evening will take place. The main event will feature a bout for the WBC super lightweight world title between Americans Regis Prograis and Devin Haney.

Prograis, a two-time world champion and World Boxing Super Series finalist, pursued the WBA title against Kiryl Relikh en route to the decisive bout of the tournament, ultimately losing to IBF belt holder Josh Taylor in the final unification.

Choosing to continue his career in the 63 kg category, Prograis secured a win against Tyrone McKenna in the WBC qualifiers. He convincingly triumphed in the bout for the vacant championship belt against seasoned contender Jose Sepeda. Prograis defended once against Danielito Zorrilla.

Haney, a former lightweight titleholder, defeated Zaur Abdullaev in 2019, temporarily claiming the WBC championship. When full-title holder Vasiliy Lomachenko transitioned into franchise champions, Haney inherited the title without contest. Haney has managed four successful defenses, including bouts against former world champions Yuriorkis Gamboa, Jorge Linares, and Joseph Diaz. In 2022, Haney engaged in two consecutive away matches against George Kambosos, determining the undisputed world champion, and emerged victorious twice.

Earlier this spring, Haney defended all his titles, meeting Lomachenko and celebrating a victory, albeit not a convincing one, through the judges' scorecards. Recently, the American declared his decision to relinquish all lightweight titles, opting to continue his career in the 63 kg category.

This bout won't stand alone, as several other intriguing fights are anticipated. In a co-main event, the confrontation between Australian Liam Paro and American Montana Love will contest the vacant WBO Global super lightweight title.

Additionally, the show will feature Andy Cruz, winner of the 2020 Olympic Games, a multiple-time world champion, and Pan American Games victor from Cuba. Cruz will defend the IBF International lightweight title against ex-IBO world champion Giovanni Straffon from Mexico.

Highly-regarded IBF world champion in the super bantamweight division, Australia's Ebanie Bridges, will step into the ring against Japan's Miyo Yoshida, a former WBO titleholder in the weight class below.

Beatrix Ferreira, a medalist at the 2020 Olympic Games, multiple-time world champion, and winner at the Pan American Games from Brazil, will compete in her fourth professional boxing match. Fighting within the second super featherweight limit, she'll face American Destiny Jones.
