Conor Benn defeated a clearly injured but stubborn Regis Prograis by unanimous decision after ten bruising rounds at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

The British welterweight earned the verdict on all three scorecards by identical margins of 98-92 after a fierce fight that left Benn with sedate injuries around both eyes and Prograis struggling with what appeared to be a leg injury.

WBN also scored in the 98-92 fight.

Benn started quickly, landing pointed combinations and digging to the body while Prograis struggled to establish his move.

The former world champion looked to be struggling to keep his balance in the opening rounds as he struggled to cope with his injury, and Benn took advantage, charging forward and dictating the pace, doing the cleaner work.

Benn vs. Prograis

Despite the setback, Prograis showed his usual toughness, refusing to give up as the fight turned into a heated exchange at close range.

After the two clashed heads, Benn was injured around both eyes and the Briton struggled to bleed profusely as the fight escalated.

Prograis had moments of success in the middle rounds and even wobbled Benn in the seventh round, but the host continued to respond with sustained pressure and persistent bodywork.

Benn’s aggression and efficiency ultimately separated the two as Prograis continued to attack despite clearly not being 100 percent ready.

After ten demanding rounds, the judges unanimously sided with Benn, whose victory keeps him firmly in the welterweight division after another high-profile performance in London.

“The Destroyer” is now hopeful that Ryan Garcia will win the welterweight title after signing with Zuffa Boxing and leaving promoter Eddie Hearn under a cloud.

Hearn sat at ringside with no emotion, watching Benn win for the first time since their split.
