Conor Benn Signs Multi-Fight Deal With Zuffa Boxing Michael Collins - 04/17/2026 - Comments Agreement confirms split from Matchroom as Zuffa builds roster Conor Benn has signed a multi-fight, multi-year deal with Zuffa Boxing. The agreement confirms his departure from Matchroom as his next fights move under Zuffa’s control. The deal formalizes Benn’s move away from Matchroom, where he had spent the majority of his professional career. His recent bout in London marked the start of that transition, and the new agreement confirms that Zuffa will handle his upcoming fights as part of its growing roster. Dana White has been adding fighters across several divisions as the promotion builds its schedule. Benn joins a list of names brought in as part of that expansion, with plans in place for future events in both the UK and international markets. Benn’s recent activity has included bouts across multiple weight ranges, including contests at middleweight before returning closer to the welterweight division. His next appearances are expected to take place at or near 147 pounds as he looks to position himself for a title opportunity. CONOR BENN IS BACK 🥊 It’s official! @ConorNigel has signed a NEW deal with Zuffa Boxing! Big things on the horizon‼️ pic.twitter.com/VavXkaEnms — Zuffa_Boxing (@Zuffa_Boxing) April 17, 2026 The agreement places Benn’s immediate future under Zuffa’s direction, with further details on opponents and dates expected to be announced as the promotion continues to finalize its upcoming schedule. By locking Benn down for multiple years, Zuffa has effectively poached Eddie Hearn’s most controversial and high-profile domestic star. It sends a message to every other fighter that Zuffa has the capital to make the establishment promoters look small. If Benn is under the Zuffa banner, the brand looks elite, even if the fighter inside the ring is currently struggling with his identity at 147 or 150 lbs. Now that Zuffa is committed to the long haul, expect them to protect the investment. They won’t put him in with a young, hungry, high-output killer like Jaron “Boots” Ennis. The “24k gold” plan likely involves names like Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney. While these are huge fights on paper, they are stylistically better for Benn than a grinding welterweight contender. They are event fights where a win makes Benn a global superstar, and a loss can be blamed on the level of competition.
