Who is leaving Eddie next? ( audio only )

from What’s A Work - Combat Sports Entertainment · host Thelawliveaudiowrestling

This week’s episode kicked off with the bombshell news that Conor Benn has officially signed with Zuffa Boxing, ending his long-time relationship with Matchroom and Eddie Hearn in favor of a lucrative, reported eight-figure one-fight deal with Dana White’s new promotional outfit — a huge statement in the boxing world as Zuffa continues its early-year push to establish itself. Benn spoke about chasing “legacy fights” and “the biggest stages,” while White has made it clear that this is just the beginning of Zuffa’s aggressive expansion in the sport. The guys on the podcast broke down what this move means not just for Benn’s career but for the growing rivalry between traditional promoters and Zuffa as it tries to rewrite boxing’s power dynamics. The conversation then shifted to Ryan Garcia’s big night, as he delivered a dominant performance against Mario Barrios to claim the WBC welterweight title, dropping Barrios early and controlling the fight throughout. In the post-fight buzz, Garcia immediately called out Shakur Stevenson instead of Benn, stirring debate about what Benn’s new promotional home means for potential matchups. The crew also looked ahead at who Zuffa might sign next, touching on rumors of other big names possibly joining the roster as Dana White pushes to build stacked cards — a topic sure to stay relevant as Zuffa’s momentum continues into the rest of 2026.
