"I would jump at the chance" - Conlan on potential Windsor fight
Belfast boxer says he is humbled by Carl Frampton tribute
Michael Conlan has revealed he would love to fight at Windsor Park – alongside his big boxing pal, Carl Frampton.
The Belfast featherweight’s next fight is in New York in just over a week’s time.
After that he will be preparing for a huge homecoming bout on June 30 at the SSE Arena in Belfast.
But speaking to Downtown & Cool FM, he said he would seriously consider an undercard offer for Frampton’s Windsor showdown a month later.
“If I had to box on it and if I had the permission from Top Rank – 100 per cent I would jump at the chance.
“Maybe not, though, because I am fighting three times in a row here so and I have a baby due – maybe a bit too soon – but I would love to fight on it if I could.”
Conlan also paid tribute to Frampton, who was full of praise for him recently.
He said he was humbled by the comments.
“It’s an honour – when Carl says something like that it kind of takes me back a bit because of all he has achieved,” he said.
“He has set the bar high."
