Zuffa Boxing adds Conor Benn to its growing list of stars on roster
- On Friday, Zuffa Boxing announced on social media that British welterweight Conor Benn , 29, ended his decade-long Matchroom relationship to join the promotion.
- Zuffa Boxing expanded after debuting its first of three fight cards on Jan. 23 in Las Vegas, following last month's signing of Jai Opetaia, as part of rapid roster growth.
- No contract details were released, though Sports Illustrated reported a one-fight, eight-figure deal, and Benn thanked Matchroom in a social media letter, while White praised Benn as `an absolute beast and a superstar`.
- The move positions Conor Benn for the inaugural Zuffa Boxing Middleweight World Championship and likely removes all three prior options, bolstering Zuffa Boxing's international profile.
- Amid a public feud between Dana White and Eddie Hearn, Benn plans future matchups with Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, and Shakur Stevenson after signing with Zuffa Boxing.
