Watch as TJ Doheny issues warning to Michael Conlan's fans at weigh-in

TJ Doheny issued a warning to Michael Conlan's fans after the pair weighed in on Thursday.

Both men hit the scales at the Devenish Complex ahead of their big fight at Falls Park on Friday night.

The weight issue has dominated fight week, with the contest originally set for super-bantamweight (122lbs) before being moved up to 124lbs.

And earlier this week it was announced that the WBA interim featherweight (126lbs) title would be on the line.

Doheny claimed he was only notified of the WBA belt on Monday after preparing for a fight at super-bantam, while Conlan said his opponent knew of the 124lb catchweight two weeks ago.

There was added interest at Thursday's weigh-in, with Doheny hitting the scales at 123.8lbs, while Conlan came in 2oz over the 124lb catchweight.

After seeing Conlan's scale reading, Doheny and his trainer Hector Bermudez declared: "Oh, your man's in trouble now."

And as the Belfast crowd roared their support for Conlan, Doheny countered: "I don't know what you're clapping for, your man is in trouble."

But after all is said and done, at least we have a fight on Friday night.
