Conor Benn Secures Unanimous Decision Victory Over Regis Prograis
Conor Benn emerged victorious against former world champion Regis Prograis on the undercard of Tyson Fury's comeback fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning by unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the fight 98-92. Following the bout, Prograis announced his retirement from boxing. Benn, who had previously fought Chris Eubank Jr at the same venue, moved down to a 150lb catchweight for this contest. Prograis, a two-time world champion at super-lightweight, put up a good fight despite being in the twilight of his career, but ultimately succumbed to Benn's youthful energy and aggression. Benn's victory was marked by his consistent pressure and powerful hooks, which left Prograis reeling at times. The American fighter showed his experience and skill, landing several good shots, but Benn's relentless attack proved too much for him. In other fights on the card, Richard Riakporhe became a two-time British champion with a fifth-round victory over Jeamie TKV, and Justis Huni edged out Frazer Clarke on a majority decision after their 10-round heavyweight clash.
