Two-time Irish Olympian and Belfast native Michael "Mick" Conlan (16-1, 8KO) makes his long-awaited ring return this Saturday, August 6, in the 10-round main event against Miguel Marriaga (30-5, 26KO) at The SSE Arena Belfast.
World title contender Conlan hopes to rebound from his dramatic 12th-round stoppage defeat to WBA World featherweight champion Leigh Wood in March, while Marriaga, a three-time world title challenger, is on the hunt for a fourth shot at the brass ring.
Fight week kicked off on Wednesday with a media workout in Downtown Belfast, and Conlan went through the paces in front of an adoring crowd, just days ahead of the SSE Arena playing host for the fourth hometown bout of Conlan's career.
On the undercard, Irish welterweight sensation Paddy "Real Deal" Donovan (8-0, 6 KOs), rising featherweight Kurt Walker (2-0, 1 KO), and junior middleweight standout Kieran Molloy (1-0, 1 KO) will see action in separate bouts.
