Conor Benn Inks Long-Term Partnership with Zuffa Boxing

Conor Benn has secured a multi-fight, multi-year contract with Zuffa Boxing, marking a significant development in his career. Following his recent 10-round victory over former two-time world champion Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Benn has committed to working with Zuffa Boxing. This partnership comes after Benn's successful collaboration with the organization for his previous bout. The boxer had previously engaged in two epic fights with Chris Eubank Jr. at the same venue, rekindling a long-standing family rivalry. Benn initially lost to Eubank but later exacted revenge with a decision victory. After moving down in weight, Benn faced Prograis at 150lbs, as he sets his sights on major fights in the welterweight division. Dana White, the head of Zuffa Boxing, confirmed that Benn has joined the organization on a two-and-a-half-year deal, comprising five fights. White expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that he personally and professionally admires Benn. The boxer had the opportunity to experience Zuffa Boxing's operations and was impressed, leading to the long-term agreement. This move marks a significant shift for Benn, who is leaving Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade. Benn expressed his excitement about the new partnership, citing the organization's vision and his desire to provide memorable nights for his audience. With this deal, Benn aims to capitalize on the prime of his career, competing against prominent names in the American boxing scene.
