The former undisputed lightweight king looks to begin a new at 140 pounds on Saturday night
When asked to discuss the stakes in Saturday's WBC 140-pound title bout between defending champion Regis Prograis and former undisputed lightweight king Devin Haney, promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport couldn't help but seem giddy.
"I think it's a 50/50 fight on Saturday and I can't wait," Hearn told "Morning Kombat" on Thursday. "It's just a tremendous matchup with so many questions to be answered."
Although the 25-year-old Haney (30-0, 15 KOs) is technically a 4-1 betting favorite, according to most oddsmakers, that's actually a lot closer to the "50/50" threshold Hearn mentioned than many of boxing's typical headlining bouts. But the part where Hearn couldn't be more correct ahead of this highly anticipated showdown inside the Chase Center in San Francisco (DAZN PPV, 8 p.m. ET) are the questions.
