Michael Conlan makes his pro boxing debut when he takes on Tim Ibarra at Madison Square Garden in New York tomorrow night.
In anticipation of the fight, the Belfast boxer appeared on Good Day New York on Friday morning.
To all my mates in New York. Watch my Good Day New York / #gdny debut tomorrow on @Fox5NY at 8:40 a.m. We'll be talking up my pro debut.

It was a confident appearance from 25-year-old, who told the presenters, 'pressure is for tyres and it's not for me.'
Conlan also said that he looked into Ibarra's eyes at the pre-fight press conference and saw fear from the American.
Asked about the controversy which saw him eliminated from the Olympics, Conlan was as honest as he was last August.
I was screwed over. Everybody around the world saw it.
I just reacted naturally. I didn't do what normal athletes do and say, 'Oh it wasn't my day, I have to go back and look at the tapes.'
I was just honest and showed my true emotion.
Unlike that Olympic debacle, Conlan said, 'The judges won't come into it tomorrow night. It's going to be a knockout victory.'
