Conor Benn sees a future with Dana White thanks to a recent deal with Zuffa
Conor Benn has committed his future to Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing after signing a recent long-term contract with the promotion.
Benn signed White’s Zuffa in a surprise move from Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom in February.
“The Destroyer” initially signed a one-fight contract reportedly worth $15 million.
The 29-year-old performed impressively, outpointing Regis Prograis in his first fight under the Zuffa banner on Saturday on the underdog Zuffa card. Tyson Fury won against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
After the fight, the Essex fighter was a free agent, but has now signed a multi-fight contract with White.
“I just signed a recent multi-fight contract, which I am very content with,” he said.
“Our visions are consistent.
“Our goal remains the same, to win the world title, but more importantly, to give the people the fight they want.
“Give people mega fights.”
Hearn promoted Benn’s entire professional career until his shock departure.
The Matchroom chairman accused his former of disloyalty, especially after he vehemently backed him following two failed drug tests that canceled his primary clash with Chris Eubank Jr in 2022.
Earlier this week, Hearn ruled out giving up on his former protégé.
“As I understand it, I can [make an offer to Benn]”- the 46-year-old told the media, among others: Professional boxing fans on Tuesday.

“I think it would be a complete waste of time and it definitely won’t be.”
The first fight under Benn’s recent contract with Zuffa may be against the WBC welterweight world champion, Ryan Garcia the couple is reportedly in talks about an August meeting.
Benn’s fight with Prograis was fought at 150 pounds, which was 10 pounds lighter than his two fights with Chris Eubank Jr last year.

“It will be in August,” Garcia said, coming face to face with Benn.
“We’ll have it in Vegas.
“[I’m fighting] Conor Benn.
“He comes from the UK.
“We will eat it.
“Conor is about to get fired.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
