Zuffa Boxing announced on Friday that it has signed Benn to a contract extension. The new promotional deal is for five fights and extends through 2028.

England’s Benn (25-1, 14 KOs) left Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing to sign a one-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing in February, which reportedly paid him $15 million. He had his first fight under the promotional banner on Saturday night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, where he beat two-time 140-pound world champion Regis Prograis by unanimous decision in a 10-round 150-pound catchweight bout in the co-main event of Tyson Fury’s dominant decision win over Arslanbek Makhmudov on Netflix.

After the win, Benn’s manager, Keith Connolly, told The Ring he was more than open to Benn signing another deal with Zuffa Boxing. He added that newly crowned WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia would be his preferred next opponent for Benn.

Benn, 29, last fought at welterweight in April 2022. He is nonetheless ranked No. 1 by the WBC in the 147-pound division.
