Conor Benn vs Regis Prograis: Fight time, undercard, prediction, ring walks, odds tonight

Plenty has happened since that career-best night for ‘The Destroyer’, who shocked the world of boxing in February by splitting from long-time promoters Matchroom and Eddie Hearn to sign a lucrative deal with Zuffa, the new promotional company founded by UFC CEO Dana White and Chairman of the Saudi Arabian General Entertainment Authority, Turki Al-Sheikh.

It’s a one-fight deal rumoured to be worth a cool $15million, causing plenty of fallout and only heightening the tensions between Hearn and White.

Despite stating after his win over Eubank Jr – against whom he jumped up two divisions to middleweight for both fights – that he now wanted to return to his natural home of welterweight (147 pounds) to challenge for world titles, particularly the WBC belt which Ryan Garcia won from Mario Barrios earlier this year, Benn’s next outing is being fought at a catchweight of 150 pounds.

He is up against American southpaw Prograis, the 37-year-old former two-time super-lightweight world champion who has spent his whole career to date in the 140-pound ranks.

‘Rougarou’ last fought in August 2025, when he outlasted Joseph ‘JoJo’ Diaz in a thrilling 10-round contest in Chicago to bounce back from consecutive defeats by Devin Haney – in which he lost the WBC super-lightweight title – and England’s Jack Catterall, by whom he was outpointed in Manchester in October 2024.

Prograis had been scheduled to fight Oscar Duarte early last year, but was forced to withdraw due to a shoulder injury suffered in training. He has this week vehemently denied claims – including from the likes of Hearn – that he is injured heading into this showdown with Benn.

Benn vs Prograis takes place today, Saturday April 11, 2026 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.

The main card is expected to start at 7pm BST on Saturday evening, which is 2pm ET and 11am PT in the United States.

Fury and Makhmudov are likely to fight at around 10:30pm BST (5:30pm ET, 2:30pm PT), so we can estimate that Benn and Prograis will be in the ring at approximately 9:30pm BST (4:30pm ET, 1:30pm PT). As ever, those exact timings are subject to change.

TV channel and live stream: Saturday night’s event is being broadcast live on Netflix, available to access for subscribers at no extra cost. A Netflix subscription in the UK currently costs from £5.99 a month.

Benn vs Prograis is the chief support act for Fury’s return against Makhmudov. There is plenty more to look forward to on a stacked bill, including Jeamie ‘TKV’ Tshikeva making the first defence of his British heavyweight title against Richard Riakporhe and Frazer Clarke looking to rebound from his loss to TKV against Justis Huni.

This should be a comfortable night’s work for Benn as he looks to build on his significant momentum following that unforgettable win over an admittedly out-of-sorts and drained-looking Eubank Jr.

Though certainly not the big world title chance he would have dreamed of next, Prograis is a vastly experienced two-time former champion and widely respected name.

But at 37, Prograis’ best days are now firmly in the past and he has crucially never previously fought above super-lightweight.

The jump up to 150 feels like far too much to ask at this stage of his career and Benn, coming down from middleweight, will be expected to fully utilise his size and strength advantages from the outset.

A stoppage certainly wouldn’t be surprising, but we see Benn cruising to an emphatic points victory.

Benn to win by unanimous decision.

Benn tipped the scales on Friday at 149.5lbs, while Prograis weighed in at 148.1lbs.
