Heavyweight Title Picture
Here’s how the heavyweight world title picture looks at the moment but that could change by the end of May.
Fabio Wardley puts his WBO title on the line against Daniel Dubois on 9 May and Oleksandr Usyk is set to defend his WBC belt against Rico Verhoeven on 23 May.
Benn Eyes Garcia
Conor Benn also earned a comfortable unanimous decision win over Regis Prograis in the co-main.
Conor Benn said before his bout with Regis Prograis that he wanted WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia next.
Benn, speaking to Netflix, was quick to set his sights on WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia: “We don’t like southpaws, no one likes southpaws. Preparing for a southpaw is long.
“Ultimately we got the job done, got through a few scratches, and keep it moving.
“Prograis presented different challenges to Eubank, Eubank is a great fighter, it’s my first fight back at 150lb, 147lb in three years.
“I’ve done what I needed to do, I believe I won every round apart from the head clashes.
“I just want to get my world title, I want Ryan Garcia next. I want my WBC belt, keep it warm for me.
“He can get it next, twice on Sunday’s, any day of the week I’ll give it you.”
Benn’s win over Regis Prograis puts him in the driving seat to face WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia.
Garcia can really punch. Benn gets sparked out.
