Conor Benn to Fight Regis Prograis on Fury Undercard
Conor Benn, who has suffered only one defeat in 25 professional fights against Chris Eubank Jr in 2024, is set to face Regis Prograis on the undercard of Tyson Fury's comeback bout scheduled for 11 April.
The British boxer recently signed a one-fight contract with Dana White's Zuffa Boxing, reportedly valued at approximately £11 million. Benn, aged 29, will serve as the co-main event at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
"Last time I fought in London, Conor Benn was on my undercard, so this is a full-circle moment for me,"
said American former light-welterweight world champion Prograis.
"But this circle will close with me teaching him a lesson.
He's not fighting some weight-drained super middleweight. I am in shape and will bring home this victory."
Although Fury is signed with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions, TKO president Mark Shapiro confirmed on Wednesday that Zuffa Boxing will promote the fight, which will be broadcast on Netflix.
Regis Prograis, 37, is a former light-welterweight world champion but has experienced two losses in his last three fights, including defeats to Jack Catterall and Devin Haney.
Benn's most recent fight took place in November, where he defeated Chris Eubank Jr in a rematch. Both encounters with Eubank were contested at middleweight; however, Benn plans to compete at welterweight as he pursues a world title opportunity.
"My last fight there showed the world exactly who I am and what I'm about,"
Benn stated.
"Fighting on the biggest stages, in the biggest shows, I fear no-one."
Tyson Fury, who has not fought since his December 2024 loss to Oleksandr Usyk, will face Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov in his return.
