Prograis Predicts Benn's Risky Strategy Will Ultimately Backfire
Regis Prograis believes Conor Benn is taking a significant risk by facing him this weekend, and is confident that his own abilities will lead to victory. Benn is set to fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he has previously enjoyed success against Chris Eubank Jr. However, Prograis, a former super-lightweight world champion, is moving up to 150lbs to compete against Benn at a catchweight with no rehydration limit. Prograis expressed that despite the fight being on Benn's terms, he is unfazed by the challenge. "I know I can win," Prograis stated. "I've fought at 140lbs my whole career, and I'm not concerned about the weight difference." Prograis also revealed that there is no rematch clause in place for the fight, but is open to a potential rematch if the fans demand it. He remains confident in his abilities, citing his past accomplishments as a two-time world champion and his current ranking. Prograis views a win over Benn as a stepping stone to another world title opportunity, saying, "It'll open up so many doors for me, and I know it will lead to something big. My goal is to become a three-time champion."
