The announcement came on Friday, just days after Benn defeated Regis Prograis by unanimous decision on April 12 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 10-round catchweight bout marked Benn’s first appearance under Zuffa after leaving Matchroom Boxing earlier this year.
The new agreement confirms his long-term commitment to the promotion following a short-term deal that reportedly paid him £11. 19 million for the Prograis fight. Strong debut leads to long-term Zuffa commitment Benn’s performance against Prograis played a key role in securing the new deal.
He controlled the fight across all 10 rounds and earned a clear decision win on the scorecards. The result improved his professional record and gave Zuffa Boxing an early success in its push into the sport. The April 12 event drew attention as one of Zuffa’s first major boxing shows.
Benn’s win showed he could deliver in a high-profile setting outside the traditional promotional structure. It also supported Zuffa’s aim to stage competitive matchups featuring recognized names. After the fight, Benn confirmed his new deal.
