Conor Benn's Zuffa Debut Set for London on Netflix

Conor Benn will make his highly anticipated Zuffa Boxing debut against Regis Prograis on April 11 in London, with the fight streaming live on Netflix from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The fight, co-promoted by Zuffa Boxing and Ring, marks a significant career move for Benn, who recently signed with the organization for a reported $15 million after years with Matchroom Boxing. The 29-year-old Englishman (24-1, 14 KOs) comes off a unanimous decision victory over Chris Eubank Jr. in November, avenging his only career loss.

Prograis (30-3, 24 KOs), 37, is a left-handed former light welterweight champion from New Orleans and protege of Evander Holyfield. The New Orleans native snapped a two-fight skid by defeating Joseph Diaz by decision in Chicago last August.
