Conor Benn to fight Regis Prograis on Tyson Fury undercard in London

Conor Benn will fight Regis Prograis on the undercard of Tyson Fury’s bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 11 April.

The contest marks Benn’s first appearance since leaving Matchroom Boxing to join Zuffa Boxing, the new promotion led by UFC president Dana White.

The welterweight contender returns to the venue of his victory over Chris Eubank Jr to take on the two-time light-welterweight world champion.

A return to familiar ground

Benn expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the north London stadium where he believes he previously made history.

“April 11 can’t come soon enough, returning to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium again, where I made history against Eubank Jr means everything to me,” said Benn.

“My last fight there showed the world exactly who I am and what I’m about.”

The 29-year-old insists he is ready for the challenge presented by the experienced American southpaw.

“Fighting on the biggest stages, in the biggest shows, I fear no one! I’m fully locked in and ready to deliver another statement performance.”

Prograis looking to correct UK record

Prograis holds a professional record of 30 wins and three defeats, with 24 of those victories coming by way of knockout.

However, the New Orleans native has struggled on British soil previously, suffering world title losses to Josh Taylor in 2019 and Jack Catterall in 2024.

“Last time I fought in London, Conor Benn was on my undercard, so this is a full-circle moment for me,” said Prograis.

“But this circle will close with me teaching him a lesson on April 11.”

Prograis dismissed suggestions that weight issues would play a factor in the bout.

“He’s not fighting some weight-drained super middleweight. I am in shape and will bring home this victory.”

The bout serves as the chief support for Tyson Fury’s heavyweight clash with Arslanbek Makhmudov.
