Conor Benn Inks Multi-Year Contract with Zuffa Boxing
Conor Benn has finalized a multi-fight, multi-year agreement with Zuffa Boxing, following his recent victory over Regis Prograis. Benn's collaboration with Zuffa Boxing for his last bout, which took place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, resulted in a 10-round win. This was Benn's third consecutive fight at the stadium, preceded by two epic matches against Chris Eubank Jr. Benn had previously clashed with Eubank Jr. in a highly anticipated bout, which was part of a long-standing family rivalry. Although he lost the initial fight, Benn secured a decision victory in the rematch. After moving down in weight, Benn faced 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, consisting of five fights. White expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that he personally and professionally admires Benn. Benn, who has left Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade, has expressed his excitement about the new deal, citing Zuffa Boxing's shared vision and commitment to his career. At 29 years old, Benn is eager to capitalize on this opportunity, seeking to deliver memorable fights to the public and make a lasting impact in the prime of his career.
