Everlast and Palm Angels return to the ring with a second bespoke fight-night kit for Conor Benn, developed for his April 11 bout against Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The fight, positioned on the undercard of Tyson Fury versus Arslanbek Makhmudov, will stream on Netflix, placing the collaboration in front of a global audience.

The project continues a partnership that first took shape in November 2025, when Benn entered the ring in a custom look for his fight with Chris Eubank Jr. That earlier moment set the tone, yet this iteration moves further into a defined visual language. The new kit operates through a strict black and gold palette, directing attention toward control, focus, and presence before the first punch lands.
The robe anchors the look. Constructed through a mix of printed paillettes, nappa leather, and Swarovski crystals, it holds a deliberate tension between craft and spectacle. The surface carries weight without excess, built to register under stadium lighting while maintaining a sense of discipline in form. The piece positions the ringwalk as a staged entrance, where movement and material work together with intent.
Symbolism drives the visual structure. Flames return from Benn’s previous kit, representing intensity and transition. From within them, the Palm Angels palm tree rises, forming a single narrative that frames the fighter’s progression. The image suggests renewal through pressure, linking personal trajectory with brand identity.
The shorts follow Benn’s established gladiator silhouette, adjusted through the same graphic code. Swarovski crystal outlines define the flame and palm motifs, introducing detail without shifting the core structure. On the back waistband, Benn includes his daughter’s name, grounding the design in a personal reference that holds weight beyond performance.
Beyond the ring, Palm Angels extends the collaboration into two tailored looks for Benn’s press appearances. A double-breasted blazer with pleated trousers appears in a refined pinstripe, marked by a studded palm logo at the chest and Benn’s monogram at the back. A second look reworks the brand’s tracksuit, previewing Fall Winter 2026 through custom embellishments and crystal detailing tied directly to Benn’s visual identity.
Everlast, rooted in boxing since 1910, continues to expand its presence through projects that connect sport with fashion and culture. Palm Angels approaches the collaboration with a focus on progression, using the language established in earlier work while pushing it into a more defined territory. The result reads as a controlled evolution, where each element serves a precise function within the overall composition.
A limited-edition capsule released alongside the first collaboration extends the narrative into product form, with hoodies and t-shirts referencing Benn’s fight kits. Available through Palm Angels and select retailers, the pieces carry forward the visual system introduced in the ring.
Benn frames the project in direct terms. He points to the depth of detail and the clarity of intent behind the kit, tying it to his mindset entering the fight. Palm Angels describes the process as an evolution, retaining key elements while allowing a new direction to emerge. The collaboration holds that tension throughout, shaping a visual identity that operates with precision under pressure.
