Conlan vs Doheny: Live coverage, 3 pm ET
Michael Conlan returns to the ring in Belfast to face TJ Doheny.
Today at 3 pm ET on ESPN+, Michael Conlan returns to action from his native Belfast, facing TJ Doheny in a 12-round featherweight main event for the interim WBA title. (The fight is available on FITE TV outside of the United States.)
We’ll have live updates and highlights from the show, all coming in this stream:
Conlan, 29, has been inched along in his pro career, and today’s matchup with the 34-year-old Doheny is another bout like that. How the WBA can sanction an interim featherweight title fight where the B-side lost a clear eight-round decision in his last outing 17 months ago is up for you to rationalize, but either way they have.
We’ll also see Lee McGregor defend his European bantamweight title against Vincent LeGrand, plus Tyrone McKenna’s return against Jose Felix, Paddy Donovan in action, and Sergei Gorokhov vs Padraig McCrory at 168 lbs.
