Conor Benn Secures Unanimous Decision Win Over Regis Prograis

Conor Benn prevailed over former world champion Regis Prograis on the undercard of Tyson Fury's highly anticipated comeback fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning by a unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the bout 98-92 in his favor. Following the contest, Prograis announced his retirement from the sport. Benn, who had previously competed against Chris Eubank Jr at the same venue, opted to move down to a 150lb catchweight for this fight. Prograis, a skilled two-time world champion at super-lightweight, was competing at a higher weight class and demonstrated his experience by finding openings in Benn's defense and landing effective shots to the head and body. Despite suffering cuts from head clashes, Benn's youthful energy and relentless aggression ultimately paid off, as he successfully landed powerful hooks and driving blows to Prograis' trunk. Prograis felt the full force of Benn's power, stumbling backward after a one-two combination at the end of the first round, and Benn continued to assert his dominance throughout the fight. In the seventh round, Prograis briefly regained momentum with a left cross, but Benn quickly countered with a strong right, sending Prograis back. As the bout entered its final stages, Prograis relied on his resilience to withstand Benn's attacks, including a series of hard right and left hooks to the chin. However, Benn's cuts and Prograis' determination made for a thrilling conclusion, with Prograis managing to last the full 10-round distance. In another notable matchup, Richard Riakporhe became a two-time British champion with a decisive victory over Jeamie TKV in the fifth round. Riakporhe's potent right hand proved to be the decisive factor, as he knocked TKV to the canvas and eventually forced the referee to stop the fight. After his win, Riakporhe announced his intention to continue knocking out opponents and set his sights on a potential world title challenge, specifically targeting the winner of the upcoming Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois fight. Additionally, Riakporhe extended an offer to Johnny Fisher to compete for the British title. In a closely contested heavyweight clash, Justis Huni edged out Frazer Clarke by majority decision, with two judges scoring the bout 96-94 in Huni's favor and one judge scoring it a draw at 95-95. Despite the loss, Clarke emerged with credit, having pushed Huni to the limit and demonstrated his capabilities as a high-caliber heavyweight contender. Clarke's performance was particularly impressive given his recent punishing loss to Jeamie TKV and marked a significant turning point in his career under new trainer Joe Gallagher.
