Conor Benn has signed with Zuffa Boxing, the UFC-backed entity, shifting his promotional focus to the United States. The British welterweight champion explicitly targets a Ryan Garcia mega-fight in September, aiming for the WBC title Garcia won against Mario Barrios.

Benn also confirmed his willingness to face Chris Eubank Jr again, this time moving up to super-middleweight (168lbs), a weight he believes gives him a decisive advantage. He dismissed pursuing Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao, stating they are 'a bit old,' and expressed interest in a potential Jake Paul fight as a 'wild card.' Benn's primary goal remains winning a world title, following his father Nigel Benn's footsteps, rather than fighting legends past their prime.
