Today, during a segment on ESPN, Dana White and Conor Benn appeared and White confirmed that he’s officially resigned Benn through 2028.

“Conor Benn, we signed a one fight deal with him and now we just signed a two-and-a-half year, five-fight deal with him to stay with Zuffa Boxing,” White announced to ESPN. Benn would later be asked about what fights he’ll be seeking out under this ongoing business relationship, and responded that he still intends to pursue a WBC world title. “We’re going to try to make the WBC world title.

I’m mandatory for that shot, I’ve worked hard to get to that shot,” Benn said. “But ultimately I’m not short of options. I’ve got plenty of fighters calling me out so we’ll see what’s there.

Whatever fight the public want, they can get. ” With the attention turned back to White, he was asked what has been his biggest lesson that he’s learned so far in this business. “That this sport is even more broken than I thought it was,” White responded.
