Overview
- Conor Benn, who boxed Saturday on the Tyson Fury–Arslanbek Makhmudov card in London, beat Regis Prograis by unanimous decision with three 98-92 scorecards.
- The 10-round fight took place at a 150-pound catchweight, and Benn fought through cuts around both eyes that reporters attributed to accidental head clashes.
- Regis Prograis announced his retirement right after the loss, telling Fight Hype it was his last fight and that he had planned to bow out even before the bout was announced.
- The result capped Benn’s one-fight Zuffa Boxing debut that media reports valued at about $15 million, drawing sharp reactions from fighters like Shakur Stevenson and Ryan Garcia who mocked the showing on social media.
- Benn said he intends to move back to 147 pounds and called out WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia for September, signaling a push toward a title shot at his natural weight.
