Offering Conlan his school medal, he said:
What a legend.
The post has gone viral from the Belfast Boxers Facebook page and on Finn’s Uncle’s Twitter last night – with over 6000 likes and 1000 shares on the Facebook post alone.
Uncle Joe also confirmed that it was Finn’s older sister that wrote out the letter for him – which might explain the high quality handwriting.
Michael Conlan has shown his appreciation on Twitter this afternoon, and says he has a present for little Finn
Finn deserves an Olympic medal himself for soundness. Well played young man.
