Key Points:
- Conor Benn has signed a one-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing reportedly worth $15 million, marking one of the largest single-fight purses for a non-world title bout.
- The lucrative contract explains Benn's sudden departure from Matchroom Boxing, catching promoter Eddie Hearn off guard, who learned of the move through Benn’s lawyer rather than directly from the fighter.
- Benn’s agreement with Zuffa Boxing allows him to return to free agency after the fight, maintaining his long-term flexibility while earning the biggest payday of his career.
- Zuffa Boxing, under TKO Group Holdings alongside UFC and WWE, demonstrates its financial commitment to establishing a strong presence in boxing by securing high-profile fighters like Benn.
