Conor Benn Inks Multi-Year Contract with Zuffa Boxing

Conor Benn has entered into a long-term partnership with Zuffa Boxing, solidifying his presence in the world of professional boxing. This decision follows his successful collaboration with Zuffa for his recent bout against Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he secured a 10-round victory. Benn's history with the football ground includes two epic matches against Chris Eubank Jr., which were part of a long-standing family rivalry. After losing the first bout, Benn moved up to middleweight and later avenged his loss with a decision victory in the rematch. Following these events, Benn opted to move down in weight and challenge Prograis at 150lbs, marking his pursuit of prominent fights in the welterweight division. Dana White, the head of Zuffa Boxing, confirmed that Benn has committed to a two-and-a-half-year contract, comprising five fights. White expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that he personally and professionally admires Benn. The decision for Benn to join Zuffa Boxing after nearly a decade with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing has sent ripples through the industry. Benn expressed his excitement about the new deal, citing the shared vision and the potential for increased exposure. At 29 years old, Benn is eager to capitalize on this opportunity, bringing high-profile fights to the American public and creating unforgettable nights for his audience.
