Conor Benn Inks Long-Term Partnership with Zuffa Boxing
Conor Benn has formalized a multi-fight, multi-year contract with Zuffa Boxing, following his recent collaboration with the organization for his last bout. The fight, a 10-round victory over two-time world champion Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, marked Benn's third consecutive appearance at the football ground. This partnership comes after Benn's epic encounters with Chris Eubank Jr, where he rekindled his family's rivalry with the Eubanks. Benn initially lost to Eubank Jr but later secured a decision victory in their rematch. He then moved down in weight to face Prograis at 150lbs, as he sets his sights on major fights in the welterweight division. Dana White, Head of Zuffa Boxing, has confirmed that Benn has joined the organization on a two-and-a-half-year deal, comprising five fights. White expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that he personally and professionally admires Benn. The deal allows Benn to pursue high-profile fights, and he has expressed his excitement about the opportunity to work with Zuffa Boxing. Benn's decision to leave Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade to join Dana White's promotional team has sent shockwaves through the industry. Benn has stated that he is eager to provide the public with the fights they desire, and his move to Zuffa Boxing is expected to bring him more exposure and opportunities to create memorable nights for his fans.
