The Born Rule doesn't need to be proven because it's an experimental observation, if it was untrue you wouldn't even be able to read these words because the semiconductor microprocessor in your computer wouldn't work. If you are able to start with a quantum interpretation and from it derive a result that contradicts the Born Rule then that would prove that particular quantum interpretation is dead wrong. But if you can derive the Born Rule from a quantum interpretation then that would be not proof but very strong evidence that the interpretation may be correct.
