Prograis Denies Injury, Ready to Fight Benn

Regis Prograis has publicly denied circulating rumors of an injury, affirming his commitment to facing Conor Benn this Saturday. The highly anticipated match is set to occur at a 150lb catchweight, a departure from Prograis's preferred super-lightweight division.

Prograis expressed his belief that the injury talk might be a deliberate attempt to orchestrate his replacement, stating he came to compete and is physically able to fight. He also shared his perspective on fighter compensation, advising them to secure maximum earnings due to the inherent risks of the sport.

Benn, meanwhile, is returning to his familiar welterweight frame after recent middleweight contests. This fight also signifies Benn's first bout since parting ways with promoter Eddie Hearn and Matchroom, having signed with Zuffa Boxing. The event will be promoted by The Ring magazine and streamed on Netflix.
