Conor Benn Joins Zuffa Boxing in Major Career Move After Victory Over Prograis
Conor Benn has officially signed a multi-fight, multi-year deal with Zuffa Boxing, marking a significant step in his boxing career. This announcement follows his recent success in the ring, where he secured a 10-round victory against former two-time world champion Regis Prograis at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend. This victory represents Benn's third consecutive fight at the iconic venue, following two thrilling encounters against Chris Eubank Jr. last year. In their first matchup, Benn faced defeat but later avenged that loss in November, dropping Eubank Jr. twice to earn a decision victory in what was hailed as one of the year's top British fights. After moving down to 150lbs for the Prograis bout, Benn is now setting his sights on major fights in the welterweight division. His transition from Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing to Dana White's new promotional venture has sent ripples through the boxing community. Benn expressed his ambitions, stating: "Career’s heading in the same direction which is world title by the end of the year, God willing, and just mega-fights." "I want to give the supporters the biggest and the best fights possible." With plans to "take the world by storm," Conor Benn is poised for an exciting future in boxing, aiming to deliver what fans desire.
