Prograis: "Benn's not fighting some weight-drained super middleweight"

In addition to the heavyweight main event between ex-champion Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov, the April 11th Netflix fight card from North London features Conor “The Destroyer” Benn (24-1, 14 KOs) against former junior welterweight champion Regis “Rougarou” Prograis (30-3, 24 KOs) in a high-stakes clash promoted by The Ring. “April 11th can’t come soon enough,” Benn told Netflix. “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’s confidence is met head-on by Prograis (pictured), who framed the matchup as both a professional escalation and a personal reckoning. “Last time I fought in London, Conor Benn was on my undercard,” Prograis said. “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 [Chris Eubank Jr.]. I am in shape and will bring home this victory.”
