Conor Benn has officially signed with Zuffa Boxing, marking a significant shift in his career. The multi-year, multi-fight agreement comes after Benn's successful collaboration with Zuffa for his recent bout against Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This victory marked Benn's third consecutive fight at the stadium, following his epic battles with Chris Eubank Jr. Benn's family has a long-standing rivalry with the Eubanks, which he rekindled in two fights against Junior last year.
Although he lost the first bout, 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. Zuffa Boxing's head, Dana White, confirmed the two-and-a-half-year deal, comprising five fights.
White expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that he personally and professionally likes Benn. The deal allows Benn to join a new promotional powerhouse, leaving behind Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing after nearly a decade. Benn expressed his excitement about the deal, citing the shared vision and the opportunity to fight in front of a larger audience.
At 29 years old, Benn aims to deliver memorable nights and give the public the fights they desire, with all the big names in the American boxing scene.
