#31 Michael Conlan

Irish superstar Michael Conlan was an enormously decorated amateur who won Olympic bronze in 2012 and then left with his middle finger infamously raised when on the wrong end of a controversial decision in the Rio Games of 2016. After starting his career under an American trainer, he is now working with Adam Booth and carries the burden of being one of the sport's brightest prospects. Promoted by Top Rank in the US, with and already huge following and currently adapting and learning in the pros, he talks about his rise through the amateurs, the politics of the sport, being one of the world's hottest talents and the fights that could define his career. All this and much more in a thorough interview. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
