Conor Benn Inks Long-Term Agreement with Zuffa Boxing
Boxer Conor Benn has entered into a multi-fight agreement with Zuffa Boxing, marking a significant partnership. Benn recently collaborated with Zuffa for his last bout, securing a 10-round win over two-time world champion Regis Prograis. This victory took place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and follows his two notable fights against Chris Eubank Jr. at the same venue. Benn's family has a long-standing rivalry with the Eubanks, which he rekindled in his two matches against Chris Eubank Jr. last year. After moving up to middleweight and losing the first bout, Benn claimed a decision victory in the rematch. He then transitioned to welterweight, facing Prograis at 150lbs. Zuffa Boxing's head, Dana White, confirmed that Benn has signed 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. The deal allows Benn to feel comfortable and explore the opportunities offered by Zuffa. Benn had previously been with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing for nearly a decade before making the switch. Upon signing the deal, Benn expressed his excitement, citing the shared vision and the potential for greater exposure. At 29, Benn is eager to take on the biggest names in the American boxing scene and deliver memorable nights for his audience.
