Conor Benn's Zuffa Boxing debut is set for April 11 when he faces Regis Prograis at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a fight streaming on Netflix.

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