LAS VEGAS– Dana White’s boxing team caused a sensation by signing on Friday, in the middle of WrestleMania week in Las Vegas.
Conor Benn has agreed to a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing just days after appearing on Netflix against Regis Prograis in the co-main event with Tyson Fury and Arslanbek Makhmudov. Benn defeated Prograis by unanimous decision and improved to 24-1 in his career.

Benn suggested that UFC President Dana White and WWE Chairman Nick Khan were the main reasons he decided to join Zuffa Boxing. UFC, WWE and Zuffa Boxing are properties of TKO Group Holdings.
“When you look at what he’s done with the UFC and what Nick Khan has done with the WWE, it’s absolutely phenomenal,” he said. “I intend to take over and it is absolutely a privilege for me to be part of this journey.”
Benn is the mandatory challenger for Ryan Garcia’s WBC welterweight title. It is believed 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,” he told PK Press Club Digital.
The American public may want to brace themselves for Benn’s rise to the top. He vowed that he will be the reason fight fans get their money’s worth.
“Conor Benn is an exciting boxer, who likes to give people their money’s worth,” he said.
Benn’s only loss came against Chris Eubank Jr. last April, by unanimous decision. But he got revenge on Eubank in November with a unanimous decision victory of his own.
