Boxing Preview: Michael Conlan (27-2-1, 8 KOs) vs Jordan Gil (27-2-1, 8 KOs)

The boxing ring of the SSE Arena Belfast will once again feel the stomping of Michael Conlan, the two-time Featherweight World Title contender. On December 2, he’s squaring up against Jordan Gill, the ex-European and Commonwealth champ, and it’s all going live worldwide on DAZN.

Conlan’s record (27-2-1, 8 KOs) speaks for itself. But let’s rewind to May, where he felt the fury of Mexico’s IBF Featherweight World Champion, Luis Alberto Lopez, in five fiery rounds. That was a second World Title slip for Conlan, right after his thrilling fight with Leigh Wood in 2022.

Now, Conlan’s cooking up something special. He’s joined forces with Pedro Diaz, the Cuban-American trainer, for this exciting comeback. Shifting gears to Super-Featherweight, Conlan’s eyes are firmly set on future World Title triumphs.

Jordan Gill (27-2-1, 8 KOs) isn’t any less hungry for glory. After a fourth-round halt by Spain’s two-weight World Champion, Kiko Martinez, in 2022, Gill wants to turn the tables and become the talk of World Title news by showing the Belfast hero who’s boss.

But the night’s not all about the main event. The supporting fights promise fireworks. Belfast Super-Welterweight sensation Caoimhin Agyarko (13-0, 7 KOs) is gearing up for a significant face-off with Darlington’s ex-British Champ, Troy Williamson (20-1-1, 14 KOs). Then, get ready for a 147lbs Belfast-exclusive clash between Tyrone McKenna (23-3-1, 6 KOs) and Lewis Crocker (17-0, 10 KOs). Not to mention, Sean McComb (17-1, 5 KOs) is prepped to give Liverpool’s ex-British and Commonwealth Champ, Sam Maxwell (17-2, 11 KOs), a run for his money over ten rounds.

Conlan’s stoked, “The SSE Arena Belfast and Matchroom Boxing always bring back memories. With my new crew, we’re out to make more. Jordan’s good, but December 2 is all about proving where I stand.”

Gill’s equally amped, “Facing Mick? Absolute thrill! Both of us are craving those World Titles. Just picture Belfast’s excitement; I’m going to rock that ring!” Eddie Hearn, the man at the helm of Matchroom Sport, shares the enthusiasm, “Belfast’s legendary boxing vibes are calling us after 2017! With Conlan aiming to redeem himself against Gill at Super-Featherweight, and backed by a killer line-up of fights, DAZN’s viewers are in for a treat.”
