Regis Prograis
Louisiana native Regis Prograis turned professional off the back of a sensational amateur career. The Southpaw reeled off twenty-four consecutive wins as a pro before Scotsman Josh Taylor finally stopped him for his only loss. His nickname "Rougarou" means Werewolf in Louisiana French, and he chose the animal because it is greatly feared in Louisiana folklore. Regis Prograis, who knocked out Jose Zepeda in November 2022 to win the vacant WBC super lightweight title, made a successful first defense last July against Danielito Zorrilla.

Devin has done well at 135lbs, but I'm the best in the world at 140lbs, and I will prove that once again! Since my last fight, they mentioned Devin's name, and that's the only person I've had on my mind. I will not only beat him, but I will beat him up. I will hurt this kid. There's nothing he can do that's going to stop me from dominating. It's going to be a massacre. Again, I will hurt him.
Devin Haney
The San Francisco-born champion became the youngest world champion in 2019 when he was elevated to the WBC lightweight title. The undefeated American then went on to star in a series of matches against George Kambosos Jr. and Vasiliy Lomachenko for the undisputed lightweight title. Scaling the legendary fighters via unanimous decisions, including a contentious decision against former unified lightweight champion Lomachenko last May, Haney, who has a 50% knockout rate, set his eyes on the 140-pound class.

It's been a dream of mine to fight in my hometown. I'm excited for the opportunity to become a two-division world champion in the city where it all started. The energy in the building is going to be electric. I haven't fought at home since I was an amateur, so I'm looking for my city to show up and show out.
