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 prove too much for his opponent. Benn is returning to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he has previously enjoyed success against Chris Eubank Jr, for his third consecutive fight at the venue. 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 undaunted, stating 'I know I can win' and that he is not concerned about the weight stipulations. Prograis revealed that he will not be bound by a rematch clause after the fight and is already looking to the future, hoping to use a victory over Benn as a stepping stone to another world title shot. He expressed his desire to become a three-time champion, saying 'it'll be so many opportunities on the table for me' after the fight.
