Benn steps back into a major stadium setting in North London, the site of his previous headline appearance. This time, he shares the card with Fury in a global broadcast environment.
Benn welcomed the assignment.
“April 11th can’t come soon enough, returning to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium again, 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 about. Fighting on the biggest stages, in the biggest shows, I fear no one! I’m fully locked in and ready to deliver another statement performance.”
Prograis framed the matchup differently.
“Last time I fought in London, Conor Benn was on my undercard, so this is a full-circle moment for me,” Prograis said. “But this circle will close with me teaching him a lesson on April 11th. He’s not fighting some weight-drained super middleweight. I am in shape and will bring home this victory.”
From a divisional standpoint, Benn continues to operate in the welterweight mix while facing a former champion who built his reputation at junior welterweight. The result will influence how Benn is positioned within the current ranking order, particularly if he intends to push toward title contention later this year.
For Prograis, the bout offers a route back into relevance after setbacks at 140 pounds. A win over a high-profile British opponent on a major international platform would reinsert him into discussions across two divisions.
The event is scheduled for April 11 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with streaming provided live worldwide on Netflix. The co-main status places Benn back under stadium lights, with immediate consequences for his standing in the welterweight structure.
