Bay Area… December I’m coming!

The fight was originally scheduled for Oct. 28 in Las Vegas.
Haney became undisputed champion when he easily outpointed George Kambosos Jr. in June of last year and then defeated the Aussie more decisively in the rematch four months later.
The native of San Francisco, who lives in Las Vegas, is coming off a close decision over Vasiliy Lomachenko on May 20.
Haney (30-0, 15 KOs) will be making his debut as a full-fledged 140-pounder.
Prograis, from New Orleans, became a two-time junior welterweight titleholder when he stopped Jose Zepeda last November.
He successfully defended against Danielito Zorrilla on June 17, winning a split decision that should’ve been unanimous.
Prograis (29-1, 24 KOs) lost his first belt by a majority decision in a title-unification bout with Josh Taylor in Oct. 2019.
