Conor Benn has signed a multi-fight, multi-year deal with Zuffa Boxing.
Benn worked with Zuffa Boxing for his most recent bout, a 10-round victory over former two-time world champion Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend.
That was a third consecutive bout for “The Destroyer” at the football ground after his two epic fights with Chris Eubank Jr.
Benn reprised his family’s rivalry with the Eubanks when he took on Junior twice last year. He moved up to middleweight for those fights, losing the first bout but combined with Eubank in that epic contest to deliver the British fight of the year over 12 rounds.
He got his revenge in November when he dropped Eubank Jr twice and secured a decision victory.
He moved down in weight afterwards, meeting Prograis at 150lbs as he pursues major fights now in the welterweight division.
Plans ‘to take the world by storm’
Benn’s switch, leaving Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing after almost 10 years with the company to join Dana White’s new promotional powerhouse, was an industry-shaking move.
Benn previously told Sky Sports: “Career’s heading in the same direction which is world title by the end of the year, God willing, and just mega-fights. That’s the plan. Give the supporters, the fans what they want.
“Whatever the public want it to be it will be,” he added. “I’m a servant of the public and I want to give the supporters the biggest and the best fights possible.
“I know we’ve got big plans for me to take the world by storm.”
