Conlan fighting to make final

AIBA World No. 2 ranked bantamweight Michael Conlan is an injury doubt for Northern Ireland for today’s Commonwealth Games 56kg final in Glasgow.

Conlan, a bronze medallist for Ireland at the 2012 Olympics, is slated to meet England’s Qais Ashfaq for gold this afternoon.

But his appearance in his first Commonwealth final hinges on whether he passes this morning’s medical. Conlan suffered a nasty-looking cut over his right eye in yesterday’s semi-final win over Wales’ Sean McGolderick following an accidental clash of heads.
