Regis Prograis has responded to rumours that he has pulled out of his fight with Conor Benn.

Benn made headlines recently when he left Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing to sign a one-fight promotional deal with Dana White and Zuffa Boxing.

The fight in question was announced as the co-main event to Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11, though the event’s named promoter is Goldstar Promotions.

Benn is set to face former two-time super-lightweight world champion Prograis at a catchweight of 150lbs, dropping back down after two fights with Chris Eubank Jr in 2025. It marks the highest weight of Prograis’ 33-fight career. In his last three outings, the 37-year-old lost to Devin Haney and Jack Catterall before beating JoJo Diaz.

Despite a confident media run since the fight was announced, rumours emerged on Friday that the American was set to withdraw due to not being fully fit in training camp. Prograis has since taken to social media to deny the claims.

“Listen, it’s not true. I’m still fighting. Don’t believe I’m pulling out the fight. No, that’s not happening. I’m definitely coming to fight.

“Conor, don’t think you’re getting off easy. I’m coming for your ass, bro. I’ll be out there next week. The fight is still on. I don’t know what people are talking about the fight not happen. Listen, that’s all bull***t, [you heard it] from me.”

The card appears to remain unchanged two weeks out from fight night.
