Conor Benn Secures Unanimous Decision Over Regis Prograis at Tottenham Stadium

Conor Benn defeated Regis Prograis by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the bout 98-92, in a catchweight contest at 150 pounds at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Saturday. The fight served as an undercard bout to the main event between Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov. Benn, 29, controlled the majority of the 10-round contest against Prograis, 37, a former super-lightweight champion, but was unable to secure the knockout finish he had sought. The result extended Benn's winning record, though the manner of the victory drew scrutiny given the circumstances surrounding the bout and his new promotional arrangement.

Benn's $15M Zuffa debut raises more questions than answers The fight marked Benn's first outing as a Zuffa Boxing athlete, reportedly under a one-fight deal worth $15 million, yet several aspects of the arrangement appeared incongruous. The bout was staged by a different promoter, The Ring, broadcast on Netflix rather than Zuffa's own platform Paramount+, and contested at a catchweight rather than a standard division. Benn's promoter Eddie Hearn watched from the front row as the Essex-born fighter worked through the rounds. Prograis had entered the contest amid reports of an injury during camp, though he did not outright deny the claims, and he stepped up to the highest weight of his career for the fight. Despite those factors, Prograis withstood Benn's most aggressive moments, including an early first-round sequence in which Benn appeared on the verge of a stoppage, and heard the final bell.

Conor Benn is the son of former two-division world champion Nigel Benn. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium previously hosted Benn's bouts with bitter rival Chris Eubank Jr in 2025, with the two fighters trading wins across those contests. Regis Prograis held the World Boxing Association super-lightweight title in 2019 and the World Boxing Council super-lightweight title from 2022 to 2023 before losing it.

Benn lands clean but fails to put fight away late Across the middle rounds, Benn remained mobile, circling away from Prograis's southpaw left hand while using his jab as a consistent irritant. His right cross failed to produce the decisive impact he sought, prompting him to shift toward his left hook and increase his body work in the later rounds. Both fighters sustained facial damage during the contest, with Prograis visibly swollen and Benn appearing to suffer a cut from a clash of heads. An encouraging flurry from Benn in round eight suggested a strong finish was possible, but Prograis continued to land clean shots through southpaw entries that caught Benn off guard. Prograis's footwork became unreliable in the final rounds, yet he survived to the final bell, denying Benn the emphatic statement victory his new promotional deal had seemed to demand. 98-92 (scorecard) — unanimous decision margin on all three judges' cards

Speaking to TalkSport ahead of the Fury-Makhmudov card at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Chisora expressed dissatisfaction with both the scoring and the two knockdowns credited to Wilder, arguing they were not legitimate knockdowns. „The two knockdowns that were given were pushes. It was an embarrassment. I'm not happy with that.” — Derek Chisora via BBC Chisora added that the overall situation was unsatisfactory on both sides, but made clear his sole interest was a rematch with Wilder specifically. Chisora's points loss to Wilder included a knockdown in the eighth round in which he was sent through the ropes, according to the BBC's account of the fight. „I want to get the rematch.” — Derek Chisora via BBC
