Matthew Macklin wants Michael Conlan to display his class

Matthew Macklin wants Michael Conlan to show his class when he takes to the ring on Manny Pacquiao’s Australian undercard in his third professional fight tonight.

Conlan’s six-round featherweight support bout against local fighter Jarrett Owen will take place on Sunday afternoon local time in Brisbane, around 3am Irish time.

The fight bill — headlined by Pacquaio’s defence of his WBO world welterweight title against Aussie underdog Jeff Horn — has been scheduled for a primetime US Saturday-night TV audience.
