Conor Benn is doubling down on his bold career move. The rising British star has officially signed a new multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing, extending a partnership that began with his controversial exit from Eddie Hearn's Matchroom stable earlier this year.

This new contract comes hot on the heels of Benn's lucrative victory over Regis Prograis last weekend, a fight that reportedly earned him over £11 million. It seems the financial success and strategic alignment have convinced both parties to make their union permanent. In a sport where promotional loyalties run deep, Benn's commitment to the Dana White and Turki Alalshikh-led venture signals a clear new direction for his career.

The announcement immediately fuels speculation about what's next for "The Destroyer." All signs point toward a blockbuster showdown, with WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia emerging as the most talked-about potential opponent. Benn himself hinted at major plans, stating in a promotional video that the goal is to "give people the fights they want... The mega fights."

This development will likely add another chapter to Benn's ongoing public feud with former promoter Eddie Hearn, who had predicted this very outcome. For now, Benn's focus is firmly on the future with Zuffa, as he looks to build on his 25-1 record and finally secure the world title that has long been his target.
