Conor Benn has officially joined forces with Zuffa Boxing, signing a multi-year contract that encompasses multiple fights. This development comes on the heels of his successful collaboration with Zuffa for his recent bout against Regis Prograis, a 10-round victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Benn's history with the venue includes two epic encounters with Chris Eubank Jr., which were part of a long-standing family rivalry. After moving up to middleweight for those matchups, Benn secured a decision victory in the rematch.
He then transitioned to the welterweight division, where he faced Prograis at 150lbs. According to Dana White, the head of Zuffa Boxing, Benn has committed to a two-and-a-half-year deal spanning five fights. White expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, citing Benn's impressive skills and the shared vision for his future in the sport.
Benn, who has left Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade, expressed his excitement about the new opportunity, emphasizing the potential for increased exposure and the chance to deliver memorable nights for fans. With this move, Benn aims to capitalize on his prime at 29 years old and take on prominent names in the American boxing scene.
