Prograis Warns Benn's Risky Strategy Will Ultimately Backfire
Regis Prograis believes Conor Benn is taking a significant risk by facing him, and this gamble will ultimately prove to be a costly mistake. Benn is set to return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the site of his previous victories, for his third consecutive fight at the football ground. Prograis, a former super-lightweight world champion, is moving up to 150lbs to face Benn at a catchweight with no rehydration limit. Despite the terms being set in Benn's favor, Prograis is confident in his ability to win, citing his experience and skill as a fighter. Prograis had requested a weight stipulation for the day after the fight but was denied, however, he chose to proceed with the fight regardless. He is unconcerned about the weight stipulations and is focused on securing the victory. Prograis also revealed that there is no rematch clause in place for his fight with Benn, but he is open to a potential rematch if the fans demand it. Prograis does not consider Benn to be on his level, stating that he is a better fighter with more impressive accomplishments. He plans to use a win over Benn as a stepping stone to another world title shot, with the goal of becoming a three-time champion.
