British boxer Conor Benn chose Hillsong's Oceans as his walk-out music, when taking on Regis Prograis on the undercard of Tyson Fury. 

The fight took place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Fury made a major comeback after a year out of the boxing ring. At his weigh-in, Benn donned a gold crucifix necklace.

The son of former pro Nigel Benn went on to beat Prograis, who announced his retirement shortly after the match. All three judges scored the bout 98-92 in Benn’s favour.

Benn has previously opened up about a turbulent faith journey, telling the BBC that he has lasting trauma from a  "very strict" religious upbringing, in which he was prohibited from celebrating Christmas. 

“You were waking up in the morning and not knowing whether the anti‑Christ was here. Looking back, because I don't often reflect on it, you think it's pretty evil,” he shared. “I was having nightmares, this recurring nightmare, and would wake up petrified.”

Yet, as an adult, Benn has found his own relationship with the Lord, saying: "I wouldn’t be where I am today without [my Christian] foundation."

“Religion instils morals that used to exist, but the world now tends to forget,” he said. “Kindness, goodness, patience, self-control, respecting your elders and thinking about the future, which many people don’t seem to do. Things like that, which are quite basic, really, but are forsaken.”
