Fight Hub TV<\/a>, Prograis said he took the fight, even at a disadvantage with the weight, because he simply \u2018knows\u2019 he is better than the Brit.<\/p>\n\u201cI just feel like I\u2019m better. That\u2019s it. I know I\u2019m better than Conor Benn. Listen, if he didn\u2019t have the last name from his dad, who is a legend, he wouldn\u2019t be where he is right now. I didn\u2019t have no daddy that boxed. I\u2019ve been a world champion, at the top twice already, doing out the mud. He had a big old push. I know I\u2019m better skill-wise, and don\u2019t be surprised if I\u2019m stronger than him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked specifically about the fact that Benn \u2013 who is reportedly being paid close to $15 million for the bout \u2013 is dropping down and he is moving up, Prograis believes he can match, and even surpass, the bigger man when it comes down to raw power.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet him come with that charging s**t. I got power, and, like I said, don\u2019t be surprised if I\u2019m stronger. Conor Benn fought on my undercard in 2019 when I fought Josh Taylor. I watch his videos. I know he likes to be on the weights and that type of s**t. They think that weight transfers to the ring, and maybe it does, but I know I\u2019ve got power. We\u2019re gonna see if he can take those same shots with me \u2026 My coaches got the confidence, I got the confidence, I know it\u2019s gonna be a real good night.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he want to come and slug it out, we can do it. I\u2019m with it that too. Then we\u2019re gonna have to see who\u2019s more of a dog. And I don\u2019t back down.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fight is co-main event to Tyson Fury\u2019s heavyweight return against Arslanbek Makhmudov, and will be streamed live on Netflix.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Regis Prograis looks to hand Conor Benn his second defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":478677,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-478676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=478676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/478677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=478676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=478676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=478676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
