Who is Michael Conlan's girlfriend and does he have any kids?

Michael Conlan suffered his first career defeat on Saturday night after a stunning KO loss to Leigh Wood in Nottingham.

The two-time Olympian looked in control of the fight against Wood and had an early knockdown as he appeared to be well on his way to a world title.

But there were dramatics in the final round as Wood landed a number of devastating blows that saw Conlan fall out of the ring.

And Conlan provided a positive update, saying: ’I'm all good, I’m just getting checked up in the hospital. The CT scan is all clear.

“Congrats to Leigh Wood, congrats to his team, that was the best shot of the night he got me with at the end. But it is what it is, I’ll be back.”

And Conlan will come back from injury with his family by his side and here is everything you need to know about the fighter.
