Conor Benn’s next fight schedule has been officially set, stirring excitement among boxing fans. Benn has shifted his focus to a new partnership with Dana White and Zuffa Boxing. This marks the end of his long-standing relationship with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, which began in 2016.
His departure from Matchroom was significant, especially following a challenging two-year period after a failed drugs test and the intense rivalry with Chris Eubank Jr. in 2025. This transition has sparked a mix of sympathy for Hearn and criticism of Benn’s decision, but ‘The Destroyer’ aims to put the past behind him.
Fight Announcement Details
Benn will face former world champion Regis Prograis on April 11. This match will take place on the undercard of the highly anticipated Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov event at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
- Event Date: April 11

Regis Prograis Background
Regis Prograis, previously a world champion at 140 pounds, has had an intriguing career trajectory. He has suffered defeats to notable fighters like Devin Haney and Jack Catterall. However, Prograis bounced back last August with a victory over Joseph Diaz, showcasing his resilience in the ring.
Looking Forward
This upcoming fight will be significant for Benn as he returns to the venue where he fought Eubank Jr. twice. It presents an opportunity for him to shine on a grand stage and regain momentum in his boxing career. As Benn prepares for this $15 million showdown, the boxing community eagerly awaits the outcome.
