A Signing That Changes the Landscape The full impact of Conor Benn joining Zuffa Boxing may not be clear for some time, but the ripples are already being felt. While some have focused on reports that it’s a one-fight deal, that detail could prove irrelevant if the partnership extends. In modern boxing, marketability can matter just as much as rankings — and Benn brings both profile and credibility. Currently ranked No. 1 at welterweight by the WBC, Benn wasted no time calling out the division’s new titleholder, Ryan Garcia, after watching his recent win from ringside in Las Vegas. Benn’s…
