Regis Prograis defends his WBC super lightweight belt on Saturday.

Regis Prograis is gearing up to fight Devin Haney this Saturday in San Francisco, and it will be his belt on the line.

Prograis defends his WBC super lightweight belt against the unbeaten Haney, a fight which is shown on DAZN and DAZN PPV (click here for details).

Speaking to DAZN, the champion gave an interview ahead of his flight against Haney and was asked how he would like to be remembered.

In reply, Prograis highlighted one fighter who he would like to be remembered in a similar way to.

"I want to be remembered as something special," Prograis told DAZN.

"Yes I was a real good boxer, but at the end I want to be a better person and make people around me better.

"I want to be remembered as a good boxer, a great boxer, a hall of fame fighter.

"But after my career is over I want to be remembered like someone like George Foreman, someone who did spectacular things outside of boxing."
