Haney was the undisputed lightweight champion having won all 4 of WBC, WBA, WBO & IBF Lightweight titles. He defended his crown last against Vasily Lomachenko in May this year. Since he started looking to move up to 140 lbs division, he was announced as champion in recess by WBC who then ordered Shakur Stevenson vs Edwin Los De Santos bout for the title.
Regis Prograis is in his second reign as Super Lightweight World Champion. He earlier held WBA title which he lost to Josh Taylor in October 2019. Prograis won the vacant WBC title in November 2022 after Taylor vacated it.
Prograis only has one title defense so far which came against Danielito Zorrilla in June this year.
