Conlan was fighting at the Suncorp Stadium and was able to convincingly finish off the Australian Owen in front of a home crowd.
The 25-year-old said that he next plans to fight on 22 September in, what will be expected to be, a jump in class from his three previous bouts.
Job done 3-0 3KO's

The defeat is now the seventh of Pacquiao’s career with the fighter falling to a 59-7-2 record with four of his last nine fights ending in defeat.
His opponent, Horn, is now 17-0-1 following last night’s victory, which is being touted as one of boxing’s greatest upsets and is now the new WBO welterweight champion.
