After making a big impression on his professional debut back in March, Irish boxing fans have been eagerly anticipating when, and where, they would be able to see Michael Conlan back in action.
Well, great news has emerged tonight as it has been confirmed by the man himself that his next fight will take place in Chicago next month.
Conlan confirmed the news after a tweet from Undisputed Champion Network broke the news on Wednesday night.

Fantastic news!
If you're thinking of making the trip over for it, you would want to make your mind up quickly as those flights are going to be booked sharpish. A cracking location, hopefully we can see more of the same from the Belfast man who looked so impressive against Tim Ibarra in New York.
With Katie Taylor on the Joshua/Klitschko undercard in 10 days, and now Conlan's return to the ring to look forward to, it's going to be an exciting few weeks in Irish boxing.
Mick Conlan was a guest on the latest episode of the Irish Boxing show which you can listen to below:
