Benn cited UFC President Dana White and WWE President Nick Khan as big reasons why he decided to join Zuffa Boxing. UFC, WWE and Zuffa Boxing are owned by TKO Group Holdings.
“When you look at what he’s done with the UFC and what Nick Khan has done with the WWE, it’s absolutely phenomenal,” he said. “I plan to take over and it is an absolute privilege to be a part of this journey.”
Benn is the mandatory challenger for Ryan Garcia’s WBC heavyweight title. It’s thought the two will fight at some point in the summer.
