Conor Benn has officially signed a multi-year, multi-fight contract with Zuffa Boxing. This announcement comes after his recent victory over Regis Prograis, a former two-time world champion.
Recent Fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Benn achieved a decisive win in a 10-round bout against Prograis at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend. This match marked his third consecutive fight at this venue.
History with Eubank
Before facing Prograis, Benn fought Chris Eubank Jr. twice last year. These matches were significant, as they reignited a historic family rivalry. In their first matchup, Benn lost but later avenged the defeat in November by knocking down Eubank Jr. twice, securing a victory.
Transition to Welterweight
Following his bouts with Eubank, Benn moved down to meet Prograis at a catchweight of 150 pounds. This shift is part of his strategy to pursue major fights in the welterweight division.
Plans for the Future
- Benn aims to become a world champion by the end of the year.
- He expressed a desire for high-profile fights to satisfy fans.
- His ambition is to create significant events in boxing, stating he is a servant to public interest.
This significant move to Zuffa Boxing, under Dana White’s management, follows nearly ten years with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing. It indicates Benn’s commitment to elevating his career and bringing exciting matchups to the boxing landscape.
