"The kid can punch really, really hard and is also a very good boxer, but he has the fanbase, he has that kind of typical Irishman mentality, a humble, down to earth guy, who is just going to try and provide a better life for his family, which is always nice to see."In my opinion, he is probably the best prospect on the island and someone who I wanted to sign from the day we started Conlan Boxing.
