Regis Prograis believes he has what it takes to become the second man to defeat Conor Benn when the two meet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11.
Benn will fight at the 63,000-seat venue for the third consecutive time. He previously suffered a narrow loss to Chris Eubank Jr there in April 2024 before avenging the defeat with a convincing victory in their rematch seven months later. While both of those contests took place at the middleweight limit of 160 pounds, Benn has stated that his long-term goal is to compete for world titles at welterweight.
As Benn moves back down in weight, he will face two-time super-lightweight world champion Prograis at a 150-pound catchweight. Prograis acknowledged the weight dynamics of the bout but insisted he accepted the fight because he believes he is the superior boxer.
Speaking to Fight Hub TV, Prograis said he is confident in his skill level and believes he may also prove stronger than Benn despite moving up in weight. He noted that Benn has benefited from the legacy of his father, while emphasizing that he built his own career from the ground up, including winning world titles.
