The Irish super bantamweight is now based out of ‘The Rock Gym’ in Carson under top trainer Manny Robles. Among his gym-mates are current world champs Oscar Valdez and Jessie Magdaleno, as well as Donegal’s Jason Quigley.

Today Conlan posted a short clip of a sparring session with undefeated Colombian super bantam Oscar Negrete [15(9)-0] and he is looking sharp.

The Falls Road favourite debuts on St Patrick’s Day at the Theater at Madison Square Garden against Tim Ibarra.
