Eddie Hearn: Conor Benn has edge over injured Regis Prograis

Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn has suggested Conor Benn holds a significant advantage against Regis Prograis due to the American’s physical condition.

In a recent interview, Hearn expressed that the 37-year-old Prograis "shouldn't even be in the ring" because he is "that badly injured." Despite earlier denials from Prograis regarding his fitness, Hearn's comments imply there is substance to concerns that the April 11 fight may be compromised by the American's health status.
