Zuffa Boxing lands major British star with latest signing

The 29-year-old was announced as the promotion's latest addition in a social media post on Friday, with Benn proclaiming "ambitious plans" under the Zuffa Boxing banner in a statement released moments later.

"I'm filled with excitement and hunger for what's ahead with Zuffa Boxing," Benn said. "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 (24-1, 14 KOs) had spent his entire professional career with Matchroom Boxing and was most recently in action in a pair of fights against Chris Eubank Jr. in 2025, with the rivals each claiming a unanimous decision victory. He is the latest high-profile fighter to join Zuffa Boxing after IBF and Ring Magazine cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia signed with the upstart organization last month.

"Conor Benn is an absolute beast and a superstar," Zuffa Boxing boss Dana White said. "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."
