British boxer Conor Benn has solidified his contentious partnership with Zuffa Boxing, signing a new multi-fight deal following his recent lucrative victory.
The move extends a decision that sent shockwaves through the sport in February, when Benn unexpectedly departed Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom to join Zuffa – a joint venture between UFC chief executive Dana White and Saudi Arabian kingpin Turki Alalshikh – for what was initially a single fight.
