Michael Conlan dedicates win to ‘fantastic’ daughter who has helped him ‘man up’

“Mainly my wee daughter, she means everything to me. She’s given me a new lease of life this year and it’s been fantastic.”

World Champion boxer Michael Conlan says he is most looking forward to bringing his gold medal home to his baby daughter.

Yesterday, the Belfast bantamweight became the first Irishman to win a World Championship gold, surviving a final round knockdown to beat his Uzbek opponent Murodjon Akhmadaliev in Doha.
