Conor Benn Inks Multi-Year Contract with Zuffa Boxing
Boxer Conor Benn has entered into a multi-fight agreement with Zuffa Boxing, marking a significant move in his career. This partnership follows his recent victory over Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Benn's collaboration with Zuffa Boxing began with his last bout, where he secured a 10-round win over the former two-time world champion. Prior to this, Benn had two epic fights against Chris Eubank Jr. at the same venue. He initially faced Eubank in a rivalry that reprised his family's legacy, moving up to middleweight and losing the first bout but earning the British fight of the year award for their 12-round contest. Benn later secured a decision victory in the rematch. After moving down in weight, he faced Prograis at 150lbs, pursuing major fights in the welterweight division. Zuffa Boxing's head, Dana White, confirmed that Benn has joined on a two-and-a-half-year contract for five fights. White expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that he personally and professionally likes Benn and is excited about the deal. Benn also shared his excitement about the deal, citing Zuffa Boxing's vision and his desire to give the public the fights they want. At 29 years old, Benn aims to provide memorable nights for his audience, which is a key aspect of his career.
