Conlan spoke to Ryan about his move into professional boxing, before heading off to Coppers with the gang for the night.

Conlan previously went on a massive rant after his controversial Olympics defeat to Russian Vladimir Nikitin. His tiniest fan Finn McManus captured hearts when he noted the injustice, and wrote a letter offering his boxing hero his school sports medal.
