Davies continued by explaining which contenders in the WBA top six rankings should fight for a world title. He notably mentioned Regis Prograis as a boxer who deserves a chance, but doesn't believe Sandor Marin should get a shot. He said: "Prograis is also a big name, I feel like he deserves a shot like I deserve a shot. Sandor Martin, he fought his last fight at welterweight wasn't it? Mate, he beat an over-the-hill Mikey Garcia and Eddie Hearn has been out there blowing smoke up this guys a***. Feeding all the boxing fans some bullshit about this guy who hasn't done anything." Prograis is widely considered one of the best fighters at super lightweight. The American lost a close decision to Taylor back in 2019 for all the belts. Since his only loss, Prograis has beaten Juan Heraldez, Ivan Redkach and Tyrone McKenna. Meanwhile, is on a 11-fight winning streak. The 28-year-old has an impressive record of 40 wins and only two losses. Martin captured a points victory in his last bout against an experienced contender in Jose Felix.
