Benn Battles Past Gritty Prograis, Sets Sights on "Hit List" for 2026

Conor Benn passed a stern test of his championship mettle, earning a wide unanimous decision over a durable Regis Prograis at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 150lbs catchweight bout was expected to be straightforward for Benn, but the former two-time junior welterweight titlist proved far tougher than anticipated, pushing the pace across ten competitive rounds. Ultimately, all three scorecards read 98-92 in favor of "The Destroyer." The victory clears a significant hurdle and edges Benn closer to his mandated shot at WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia. However, Benn isn't just focused on one name; he's wielding a full "hit list" that includes world champions Shakur Stevenson, Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, and Rolly Romero. With momentum on his side and a tough test passed, the question looms large: Will Conor Benn crown himself a world champion in 2026? Photo Credit: The Ring Magazine
