This weeks guest on Stand Out with Ian O’Connell is Michael Conlan. Michael is an Irish professional boxer from Belfast. He challenged for the IBF featherweight title in 2023 and the featherweight title in 2022. A world, European and Commonwealth champion and Olympic bronze medallist. Conlon is one of Ireland's most successful amateur fighters. He turned professional in 2016 after the 2016 Olympic Games when he was the victim of a very controversial decision in which Russia’s Vladimir Nikitin was awarded the victory. That decision was one of a number that had fellow international boxers and commentators questioning the integrity of Olympic boxing and the scoring system used. He was RTÉ Sports Person of the Year in 2015.
