In probably the BIGGEST shock in boxing of 2026 so far yesterday evening [Feb 20] Dana White’s newly formed ZUFFA BOXING promotional outfit sensational revealed that they have SIGNED Conor Benn on a new promotional deal.
BENN who had been with Eddie Hearn’s MATCHROOM BOXING since he turned PRO some 10 years ago has now JUMPED SHIP.
“I’m filled with excitement and hunger for what’s ahead with Zuffa Boxing,” said Benn. “I want the legacy fights, the biggest nights, the biggest stages. I fear no man at any weight, and I’m ready to give the fans the fights they’ve been calling for. I’m in my prime, and together we have bold, ambitious plans”
“Conor Benn is an absolute beast and a superstar,” said UFC President and CEO Dana White. “He shows up every time and destroys people, and now some of the best fighters in the world are calling him out. He’s ready for a world title next and I can’t wait to see him compete in Zuffa Boxing. He’s going to be a huge addition to a growing stable of very talented boxers.”
So what next for Conor Benn after 2 all action STADIUM BOUTS with bitter foe Chris Eubank Jr and previous talk of fighting for WORLD TITLES, who knows as ZUFFA have announced that their fighters will fight only for ZUFFA BOXING titles and at only 8 weight classes.
