Conor Benn has entered into a multi-fight agreement with Zuffa Boxing, marking a significant development in his career. This partnership follows his recent collaboration with Zuffa for his last bout, where he secured a 10-round victory over former two-time world champion Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Benn has previously fought at the stadium twice, engaging in epic battles with Chris Eubank Jr. He revived the longstanding rivalry between his family and the Eubanks in two matches against Junior last year, initially losing but then securing a decision victory in their rematch. After moving down in weight, Benn faced Prograis at 150lbs, as he now seeks major bouts in the welterweight division.
According to Dana White, Head of Zuffa Boxing, Benn has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract involving five fights. White expressed his excitement about the deal, stating that he personally and professionally admires Benn. The partnership allows Benn to expand his reach, aiming to deliver memorable nights for the public.
With this move, Benn leaves Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade, joining Dana White's promotional powerhouse in a move that has sent shockwaves through the industry.
