Conor Benn Inks Multi-Year Contract with Zuffa Boxing
Conor Benn has finalized a multi-year, multi-fight agreement with Zuffa Boxing. Following his recent 10-round victory over former two-time world champion Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Benn has decided to extend his partnership with Zuffa Boxing. This decision comes after a successful collaboration for his last bout. Benn's recent fight against Prograis marked his third consecutive bout at the football ground, having previously engaged in two epic battles with Chris Eubank Jr. He revived his family's long-standing rivalry with the Eubanks when he faced Junior twice last year, first losing but then securing a decision victory in the rematch. After moving down in weight, Benn took on Prograis at 150lbs, paving the way for major fights in the welterweight division. Dana White, Head of Zuffa Boxing, confirmed that Benn has joined the organization on a two-and-a-half-year contract, comprising five fights. White expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, 'I like the kid personally and professionally, so we are excited about it.' Benn, who has left Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade, expressed his excitement about the new deal, saying, 'I am very excited to have got this deal done. They share the same vision, and they are excited for the future.' Benn aims to provide the public with the fights they desire, leveraging his prime career years to create memorable nights.
