Conor Benn vs Regis Prograis: Date, start time, and how to watch ‘The Destroyer’ on Tyson Fury undercard

For the first time in two and a half years, Conor Benn will not be the headline attraction.

Fresh off a career-best victory over Chris Eubank Jr at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, ‘The Destroyer’ returns to the same venue to act as chief support for Tyson Fury‘s comeback fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov.

Benn (24-1) will meet two-time super lightweight world champion Regis Prograis at a 150lbs catchweight as he continues to drop back down to his natural weight after his middleweight duels with Eubank Jr.

‘The Destoyer’ intends to challenge for world titles at welterweight (147lbs) and is currently the WBC mandatory challenger for Ryan Garcia.

However, he will need to brush the battle-hardened Prograis to one side if he hopes to get his shot at the green and gold strap.

Prograis (30-3) returned to winning ways last August with a hard-fought decision victory over Joseph Diaz after falling to back-to-back defeats at the hands of Devin Haney and Jack Catterall.

At 37 years old, his best days are seemingly behind him, although the American does have the experience to make it a tricky night for Benn.

Date and how to follow

Benn and Prograis will square off over ten rounds on Saturday, April 11.

What has been said?

Benn said: “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.”

Prograis added: “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.”
