Hearn: Prograis 'badly injured' and shouldn't fight

Published April 4, 2026 · Updated April 4, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn suggests Conor Benn has the advantage over Regis Prograis, stating the American is too injured to compete.

Speaking about the upcoming April 11 bout, Hearn stated that Prograis "shouldn't even be in the ring, because he's that badly injured." This follows a recent public dispute between Hearn and Benn regarding the boxer's move to Zuffa Boxing.

Despite earlier rumors suggesting the fight could be canceled, Prograis publicly denied any health issues. However, Hearn's remarks imply there may be truth to the concerns regarding the 37-year-old's physical condition.
