Conor Benn is set to face American Regis Prograis on the undercard of Tyson Fury’s comeback in London on April 11, as confirmed.

Benn (24-1, 14 KOs) recently departed from Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom to enter into a one-fight agreement with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, with former two-time junior welterweight world champion Prograis (30-3, 24 KOs) now officially announced as his opponent.

This matchup will serve as the co-main event for Fury’s return against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in April. The event will be organized by Zuffa and Ring Magazine and will be available for live streaming on Netflix worldwide.

Benn’s most recent fight took place in November at Tottenham, where he defeated Chris Eubank Jr. in their rematch after losing the initial encounter in April.

The 29-year-old had expressed his desire to compete for the WBC title, seeking a bout with Ryan Garcia, while also being called out by Shakur Stevenson, who triumphed over Teofimo Lopez in January.

Nonetheless, Benn will now make his return under the Zuffa banner against Prograis, who has suffered defeats in two of his last three matches against Brit Jack Catterall and Devin Haney.
