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 highly anticipated comeback bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with all three judges scoring the fight 98-92 in his favor. Following the contest, Prograis announced his retirement from the sport. Benn, revisiting the same venue where he previously concluded his rivalry with Chris Eubank Jr, moved down to a 150lb catchweight after competing in two middleweight contests against Eubank. Prograis, a two-time world champion at super-lightweight, was competing at a higher weight class and, despite being in the twilight of his career, posed a significant challenge for Benn. The southpaw Prograis successfully landed several blows, including a left to the head and body shots, while also opening up cuts on Benn's face due to head clashes. However, Benn's youthful energy and relentless aggression ultimately proved decisive, as he swung freely with hooks and drove blows into Prograis' trunk. Benn's power was evident, as he staggered Prograis with a one-two combination at the end of the first round and continued to land significant shots throughout the fight. Prograis showed resilience, having previously only been beaten by top fighters such as Josh Taylor, Devin Haney, and Jack Catterall, but was unable to overcome Benn's onslaught. In other action, Richard Riakporhe became a two-time British champion with a fifth-round stoppage of Jeamie TKV, announcing himself as a potent threat in the heavyweight division. Riakporhe launched a booming right to trouble TKV early on and, after a scrappy contest, landed a clubbing right that sent TKV crashing to the canvas. Riakporhe then proceeded to finish the fight with a flurry of shots, including a huge right and a left hook. Following the victory, Riakporhe declared his intention to continue knocking out opponents and challenge for the world title, while also calling out Johnny Fisher. Meanwhile, Justis Huni edged out Frazer Clarke on a majority decision after their closely contested 10-round heavyweight clash. Despite the loss, Clarke emerged with credit, having pushed the high-caliber Huni close, particularly given his recent punishing loss to Jeamie TKV. Huni's hand speed proved the difference, as he whipped in rapid lefts and varied his work well from the head to the body. Clarke boxed with assurance from the center of the ring but was ultimately outdone by Huni's superior speed and technique.
