TOP RANK RELEASES NEW VIDEO CONLAN: THE HOPE OF A NATION
NEW YORK (March 3, 2017) -- It's T-Minus 14 days until Ireland's Olympic hero MICHAEL "MICK" CONLAN celebrates St. Patrick's Day by making his professional debut -- headlining a special card at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. Conlan's pro debut, which will be as a featherweight, in a six-round bout against Tim Ibarra (4-4, 1 KO), of Denver, is set for Friday, March 17 at the "O'Mecca of Boxing." And to put an exclamation point on the occasion, fellow countryman and UFC superstar and lightweight champion Conor McGregor has accepted Conlan's invitation to walk him into the ring!
Conlan joins an elite group of Olympic medalists, including George Foreman, Evander Holyfield and Jermaine Taylor, to make his professional debut on boxing's most hallowed ground, but none of them were featured in the main event like Conlan.
Top Rank?, which is promoting this special event, in association with Hennessy and Madison Square Garden, has just released a new video -- Conlan: The Hope of a Nation -- documenting Conlan's personal journey to his pro debut. Produced by Craig Shapiro, the video was shot in Conlan's hometown of Belfast and New York. This link will take you to the video: https://youtu.be/vA8GXaXJhuM.
