  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nConor Benn delivered a commanding performance against Regis Prograis on Saturday evening, securing a comprehensive unanimous decision victory that showcased his advantages in speed and sharpness.\n\nThe British fighter dominated proceedings from start to finish, with all three ringside judges awarding identical scores of 98-92 in his favour.\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nPrograis, the former two-time super lightweight champion, appeared to feel the weight of his 37 years throughout the contest.\n\nBenn consistently found his target, repeatedly snapping the American's head back with clean shots.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe one-sided nature of the scorecards reflected what unfolded in the ring, as the younger man's quickness proved too much for the veteran to handle.\n\nBenn produced another controlled and disciplined showing, using a powerful jab to push Prograis backwards throughout the contest.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe opening round saw Benn land a telling straight right hand that visibly shook his opponent.\n\nHowever, that punch represented the only moment of genuine danger for the American, who absorbed Benn's work without going down.\n\nThe fight became something of a shooting gallery for the British fighter as it progressed.\n\nPrograis struggled to close the distance, with Benn moving expertly in and out of range.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAs the rounds wore on, the former champion grew increasingly reluctant to engage.\n\nWhile Prograis managed to catch Benn with occasional backhands during exchanges, he spent far too long hesitating.\n\nEddie Hearn sat ringside throughout the bout, his expression betraying nothing as Netflix cameras sought to capture his reaction.\n\nThe Matchroom Boxing chief's presence carried particular significance given Benn's shock departure to Dana White's Zuffa Boxing in February.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nBenn informed his long-time promoter of the split via email, refusing Hearn a telephone conversation.\n\nThe manner of the exit clearly stung Hearn, who subsequently acknowledged he had erred in expecting Benn to reciprocate the loyalty shown during the fighter's protracted legal difficulties following two failed drug tests in 2022.\n\nDespite his former promoter's watchful gaze, Benn remained focused, delivering what amounted to a near-shutout against the fading American.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
