Michael Conlan vs Isaac Dogboe on Tyson Fury’s undercard: What to expect?

My main reason to fight Conlan is the mere fact that he’s the quickest route for me to become 2x world champion! When his name was mentioned i said, ‘Yes sir, I LOVE IT. LETS GO!”

Both fighters possess some serious knockout power and have experience in the ring and will not shy away from the spotlight.

Dogboe is a vocal fighter and Conlan has already stated his disdain towards that, giving fans something more than just the Fury fight to look forward to. Thus, we can expect a tough fight if both fighters bring their A-game. It will set the tone for the main event.
