LAS VEGAS – Dana White’s boxing organization made a splash signing on Friday during WrestleMania week in Las Vegas.
Conor Benn agreed to a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing just days after appearing on Netflix against Regis Prograis as part of the co-main event with Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Benn defeated Prograis via unanimous decision to move to 24-1 in his career.

Benn suggested UFC President Dana White and WWE President Nick Khan were big reasons why he decided to join Zuffa Boxing. UFC, WWE and Zuffa Boxing are properties under TKO Group Holdings.
“When you look at what he’s done with UFC and what Nick Khan has done with WWE, it’s absolutely phenomenal,” Benn said. “I plan to take over and it’s absolutely a privilege for me to be a part of that journey.”
Benn is the mandatory challenger for Ryan Garcia’s WBC welterweight title. There has been speculation that the two will fight at some point during the summer.

“At the end of the day, you want to give the fans the biggest fight, the biggest night possible,” Ben told Pakinomist Digital.
An American audience might want to brace themselves for Benn’s rise to the top. He promised that he will be the reason fight fans will get the biggest bang for their buck.
“Conor Benn is an exciting boxer who likes to give people value for money,” he said.
Benn’s only loss came against Chris Eubank Jr. in April last year via unanimous decision. But he got revenge on Eubank in November with a unanimous decision victory of his own.
