Conor Benn has officially signed with Zuffa Boxing, marking a significant shift in his career. This multi-fight, multi-year agreement follows his recent collaboration with the organization for his last bout, where he secured a 10-round victory over former two-time world champion Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Benn's history with Zuffa Boxing includes a notable trilogy of fights at the football ground, including two epic matches against Chris Eubank Jr.
The first bout, which took place at middleweight, resulted in a loss for Benn but earned the title of British fight of the year. He later avenged this loss with a decision victory in November. After dropping down to welterweight, Benn faced Prograis at 150lbs, paving the way for major fights in the division.
Dana White, Head of Zuffa Boxing, confirmed that Benn has joined the organization on a two-and-a-half-year contract, consisting of five fights. White expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, 'I like the kid personally and professionally, so we are excited about it.' Benn, who left Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade, expressed his own excitement about the deal, citing the organization's vision and his desire to give the public the fights they want.
At 29 years old, Benn is poised to take on the biggest names in the industry, with the goal of creating unforgettable nights for his fans.
