LAS VEGAS – Dana White’s boxing team made a splash on Friday in the middle of 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 by unanimous decision and moved to 24-1 in his career.

Benn suggested that UFC president Dana White and WWE president 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 WWE, it’s absolutely phenomenal,” he said. “I plan to take on the role and it is absolutely a privilege for me to be 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 over the summer.

“Ultimately, what you want is to give the fans the biggest fight, the biggest night possible,” he told Pak Gazette Digital.
The American public may want to prepare for Benn’s rise to the top. He promised that he will be the reason fight fans get the most bang for their buck.
“Conor Benn is an exciting boxer who likes to give people value for their money,” he said.
Benn’s only loss was against Chris Eubank Jr. last April, via unanimous decision. But he got revenge on Eubank in November with his own unanimous decision victory.
