Conor Benn’s First Fight Under Zuffa Boxing Announced

Conor Benn will face Regis Prograis at a 150-lb catchweight on April 11 from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov card, live on Netflix, following his new deal with Zuffa Boxing.

Benn, who recently split with longtime promoter Eddie Hearn, reportedly signed a one-fight deal allegedly worth $15 million. Benn will box a former two-time 140-pound champion. Benn is a natural welterweight, who has not boxed at 147 since 2022 when he stopped Chris van Heerden. Since then, he has boxed twice at 154 and twice at 160, most recently avenging his loss to Chris Eubank Jr. in their rematch at middleweight last November. Meanwhile, Prograis boxed at a 142-lb catchweight in his last fight against Joseph Diaz. He bounced back from two consecutive defeats by beating Diaz last August. However, at 37, Regis is no longer at his peak.

“April 11th can’t come soon enough, returning to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium again, where I made history against Eubank Jr means everything to me. My last fight there showed the world exactly who I am and what I’m about. 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,” Benn said 

“Last time I fought in London, Conor Benn was on my undercard, so this is a full-circle moment for me. But this circle will close with me teaching him a lesson on April 11th. He’s not fighting some weight-drained super middleweight. I am in shape and will bring home this victory,” Prograis said
