Conor Benn has formally agreed to a multi-fight, multi-year contract with Zuffa Boxing. Following his recent collaboration with the organization for his last bout, which resulted in a 10-round win against former two-time world champion Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Benn has decided to commit to the partnership. This decision comes after his two epic battles with Chris Eubank Jr.
at the same venue. Benn had revived the long-standing rivalry between his family and the Eubanks in his previous two fights against Junior, initially losing but then securing a decision victory in the rematch. Having moved down in weight to face Prograis at 150lbs, Benn is now focusing on pursuing major fights in the welterweight division. Dana White, Head of Zuffa Boxing, has confirmed that Benn has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal, which includes five fights.
White expressed his enthusiasm for the deal, stating, 'I like the kid personally and professionally, so we are excited about it.' Benn also shared his excitement about the new partnership, saying, 'I am very excited to have got this deal done. They share the same vision, and they are excited for the future.' This move marks a significant shift for Benn, who is leaving Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade to join Dana White's new promotional powerhouse.
