The speculation over who Conor Benn may work with moving forward has come to an end after he put pen to paper on a new deal.
It came as a shock earlier this year when it was announced that Benn had left Eddie Hearn and Matchroom in order to join forces with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing.
Benn’s deal with Zuffa was for just one fight, with that taking place last weekend when he defeated former super-lightweight world champion Regis Prograis by unanimous decision in a 150lb catchweight bout.
That meant ‘The Destroyer’ was a free agent at the conclusion of that fight and was able to negotiate with other promoters, though former long-term promoter Hearn has continued to doubt whether that was the case.
It hasn’t taken long for Benn’s future to be decided, after it was confirmed that the British star will continue to work with Zuffa and White after signing a new multi-fight promotional deal with the company.

With his new deal in place, Benn shared his delight at the announcement.
“Just signed a new multi-fight deal [that] I’m very excited about. Our visions are aligned. Our goal remains the same. Let’s get that world title and more importantly give people the fights that they want, give people the mega fights. If you guys want it you guys can get it.”
White also spoke out on the deal.
“Conor and I just signed a new deal here after his one fight deal. We’re excited to have him. We’re ready to put on some big fights. Welcome to Zuffa Boxing Conor Benn.”
Benn now looks set to head into a WBC welterweight title fight against Ryan Garcia, with the bout looking likely to take place this August.
