Conor Benn Inks Long-Term Partnership with Zuffa Boxing

Conor Benn has formalized a multi-year, multi-fight agreement with Zuffa Boxing, marking a significant move in his career. Following his recent victory over Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Benn has opted to join forces with Zuffa Boxing, led by Dana White. This partnership comes after Benn's consecutive bouts at the stadium, including his epic encounters with Chris Eubank Jr. Benn had previously clashed with Eubank Jr. in a highly publicized rivalry, which saw him initially lose but then secure a decisive victory in their rematch. He then transitioned to a lower weight class to face Prograis, as he sets his sights on major welterweight fights. The deal, spanning two and a half years, encompasses five fights and signals a substantial shift in Benn's career trajectory. Dana White expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, citing his personal and professional admiration for Benn. White noted that the initial one-fight deal allowed both parties to assess their compatibility, ultimately leading to a long-term collaboration. Benn, who departed Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade, expressed his excitement about the new partnership. He highlighted the shared vision and the potential for increased exposure, particularly in the American market, where he aims to deliver memorable fights to the public.
