Prograis Warns Benn's Risky Strategy Will Ultimately Backfire

Regis Prograis has cautioned that Conor Benn's bold move will not pay off when they face off this weekend. Benn is set to return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the site of his previous middleweight wins, including his victory over Chris Eubank Jr. Prograis, a former super-lightweight world champion, is moving up to 150lbs to fight Benn at a catchweight with no rehydration limit. Prograis expressed confidence, stating, 'They've set it on his terms, but I'm certain I can win. I've fought at 140lbs my entire career, which is a significant jump.' He also revealed that he won't be bound by a rematch clause after the fight. Prograis believes Benn is taking a risk by fighting him, especially since he's been training. He doesn't consider Benn to be in his league, saying, 'I don't think so. I know I'm better.' Prograis aims to use a win over Benn as a stepping stone to another world title shot, stating, 'It'll open up numerous opportunities for me. I know that after this fight, something big will happen. I want to become a three-time champion.'
