British boxing star Conor Benn has officially signed with Zuffa Boxing, the promotion announced today through UFC President and CEO Dana White.
The move signals a major shift in the boxing landscape, with Benn aligning himself with one of the most powerful promotional forces in combat sports. As Zuffa Boxing continues to expand its roster, the addition of Benn represents a clear statement of intent.
“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”
Benn, widely regarded as one of the most explosive and talked-about fighters in British boxing, has built his reputation on aggressive performances and highlight-reel finishes. Now entering what he describes as his prime years, he appears determined to chase the marquee matchups that could define his career.
Dana White was equally enthusiastic about the signing, praising Benn’s fighting style and star power.
“Conor Benn is an absolute beast and a superstar,” said 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.”
Benn’s arrival strengthens Zuffa Boxing’s growing stable as the promotion looks to position itself as a major player in global boxing. While details regarding Benn’s debut under the new banner have not yet been finalized, more information on his next fight is expected in the coming weeks.
With bold ambitions and promotional backing from one of combat sports’ most influential executives, Benn’s next chapter could feature the defining bouts he has long pursued.
