Conor Benn Inks Multi-Year Contract with Zuffa Boxing
Conor Benn has entered into a multi-fight, multi-year agreement with Zuffa Boxing, following his recent victory over two-time world champion Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This collaboration marks a significant partnership, as Benn had previously worked with Zuffa Boxing for his last bout. The boxer, known as "The Destroyer," has fought at the football ground three times, including two epic matches against Chris Eubank Jr. Benn's family has a long-standing rivalry with the Eubanks, which he reignited in two fights against Junior last year. After losing the first bout, Benn secured a decision victory in the rematch. He then moved down in weight to face Prograis at 150lbs, pursuing major fights in the welterweight division. Dana White, Head of Zuffa Boxing, confirmed that Benn has joined on a two-and-a-half-year contract, comprising five fights. White expressed his excitement about 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 enthusiasm for the deal, saying, "I am very excited to have got this deal done... They share the same vision, and they are excited for the future." At 29 years old, Benn is eager to give the public the fights they want, particularly in America where the big names are. His primary goal is to create memorable nights for his audience, leaving a lasting impression.
