Benn steps back into a large stadium setting in North London, the venue of his previous headline show. This time he shares the card with Fury in a worldwide broadcast setting.
Benn welcomed the assignment.
“April 11 can’t come soon enough, to be back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where I made history against Eubank Jr., means everything to me,” Benn said. “My last fight there showed the world exactly who I am and what I’m all about. Fighting on the biggest stages, in the biggest shows, I fear no one! I’m fully engaged and ready to deliver another statement performance.”
Prograis set up the game differently.
“Last time I fought in London, Conor Benn was on my undercard, so this is a full circle moment for me,” said Prograis. “But this circuit will close with me teaching him a lesson on April 11. He’s not fighting a weight-drained super middleweight. I’m in shape and will bring this win home.”
From a division standpoint, Benn continues to function in the welterweight mix as he faces a former champion who built his reputation at junior welterweight. The result will affect how Benn is positioned within the current rankings, especially if he intends to move into title contention later this year.
For Prograis, the fight offers a route back to relevance after setbacks at 140 pounds. A win over a high-profile British opponent on a major international platform would put him back in two-division talks.
The event is scheduled for April 11 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with streaming live worldwide on Netflix. The co-main status puts Benn back under stadium lights, with immediate consequences for his standing in the welterweight structure.
