Conor Benn's boxing career takes an unexpected turn as he announces a stunning new signing with Dana White and Zuffa Boxing. After a decade with Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn, Benn is now set to embark on a new chapter with the promotion giant.
Benn's journey has been a rollercoaster, marked by a high-profile drugs scandal and a fierce rivalry with Chris Eubank Jr. The boxer's resilience and determination were on full display during his two fights against Eubank, where he emerged victorious after a challenging start. Despite the setback, Matchroom and Hearn stood by his side, fostering a strong bond that has endured.
In a recent social media statement, Benn expressed his gratitude to Hearn and Matchroom, acknowledging their invaluable support and guidance over the years. However, the allure of Zuffa's offer proved irresistible, presenting an opportunity that Benn couldn't ignore.
'The Destroyer' is now geared up for a new era, aiming for legendary fights and the biggest stages. With Zuffa's backing, Benn is ready to take on the world, targeting matches against top contenders like the WBC title winner and the newly crowned WBO champion. This move not only signifies a shift in Benn's career trajectory but also adds fuel to the ongoing feud between Matchroom and Zuffa, as the boxing world eagerly anticipates the next chapter in this captivating saga.
