"filled with excitement and hunger for what's ahead with Zuffa Boxing"
"First and foremost I want to thank Eddie and the entire team at Matchroom for everything they have done for me over the past decade,"
"From guiding me when I first turned pro, to headlining stadium shows. They were not only with me for those highlight moments but stood shoulder to shoulder with me during the tough times."
"Conor Benn is an absolute beast and a superstar,"
Conor Benn has left Matchroom Boxing to sign with Dana White's Zuffa Boxing. Benn turned professional with Matchroom and headlined stadium shows after a rematch victory over Chris Eubank Jr at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in November, having lost their first bout in April. Benn twice tested positive for the banned substance Clomifene in 2022, triggering a two-year battle with authorities and a suspension that was lifted in November 2024. Benn's professional record stands at 24 wins and one loss, placing him on the verge of a world-title challenge. Zuffa Boxing, backed by Dana White and Saudi financing, aims to establish its own premier championship alongside the Ring Magazine title and challenge traditional sanctioning bodies.
