Prograis Incensed: ‘How Can I Be the Underdog?!’

Former WBC super-lightweight world champion, American boxer Regis Prograis (30-3, 24 KOs), is expressing his strong displeasure after being labeled the underdog in his highly anticipated upcoming bout against British fighter Conor Benn (24-1, 14 KOs).

Despite his formidable record and status as a former world champion, many analysts have positioned Prograis as the less favored contender. He vehemently disagrees with this assessment, stating emphatically: “How can I be the underdog?!” Prograis is determined to prove his detractors wrong and believes he is far from an outsider in this fight.
