Frank Warren has publicly criticized Conor Benn following Benn's split from Eddie Hearn and his new contract with Dana White's Zuffa Boxing. Warren’s comments come amidst controversy over Benn's departure from Hearn without a formal conversation, which has raised eyebrows in the boxing community. Warren, who is embroiled in legal issues with Zuffa's parent company, expressed skepticism regarding the substantial monetary investment in Benn, questioning his ranking among boxers in Essex.

Benn's upcoming participation in Zuffa Boxing marks a significant shift in his career and has caught attention not only due to the financial terms of the deal but also due to the circumstances surrounding his departure from a long-standing partnership with Hearn. This move is seen as an attempt to revitalize his career after previous controversies, including a doping scandal. Warren's remarks highlight the competitive landscape within boxing and the varying opinions of boxing promoters about the worthiness of fighters and the financial viability of their contracts.

The implications of such high-profile splits and deals in boxing can reshape careers and promotional dynamics. Warren's focus on Benn's performance and status in Essex suggests that the boxing community is closely watching how these events unfold and how they will affect Benn's future. As he prepares for his debut with Zuffa, Benn's success or failure could resonate beyond personal achievement, potentially influencing investor confidence in boxing promotions and fighter management strategies in the UK.
