May 26, keep it bloody free.
Michael Conlan’s second professional fight has been penciled in for five weeks’ time and the Irish are headed for Chicago.
After lighting up the MSG during his pro debut on St. Patrick’s Day, the Belfast boxer is on his way to UIC Pavilion to keep his undefeated professional record going.

The 9500-seater stadium will host the super bantamweight who made very, very light work of Tim Ibarra on his first night out.
Just over two months later, Conlan will be ready to go again.
May 26th, Chicago!!! #NextFight https://t.co/PV5THIgh90

During his first outing, Conlan told us all that he’d finish the fight in the third round and that’s exactly what he did.
Now, the boxing world awaits his next opponent but the Irish will be booking their flights to Chicago in droves at this latest announcement.
Perhaps the latest addition to his squad will be joining them.
Since going under the wing of Manny Robles, the 25-year-old’s training has been looking frighteningly intense and, as a result, he’s looking razor sharp and cut to pieces himself.
Now, the journey continues.
May 26. Don’t miss it.
