Dmitriy Kel Dec. 10, 2023, 2:39 p.m.

Former world welterweight boxing champion Regis Prograis surprised with his plans after defeat Devin Haney and the loss of the WBC belt.

“I want to become a three-time world champion. It may be too early for that now, but I have something in mind. I want to leave boxing and do MMA. I plan to do this, but first I want to become a champion for the third time.

I had been thinking about it for some time, but I was the champion, so I couldn’t resign. I’m not saying I’ll do it right now, but when I win the belt for the third time, I’ll probably move to MMA,” Prograis said at a press conference.
