MICHAEL Conlan has signed a promotional deal with Wasserman Boxing. The Belfast featherweight put pen to paper on a “long-term” deal and joins a roster of fighters at Wasserman that includes Josh Kelly, Harlem Eubank and Abass Baraou.
Conlan (33) is gearing up for a third shot at world title glory and, after 12 months out of the ring, his return is imminent.
“I turned professional in 2017 with a clear goal – to become world champion,” said Conlan.
“I still firmly believe I have the ability to get to the very top, and I did not want to retire and, 10 or 15 years down the line, be thinking ‘what if?’.
“And for this defining period in my career, it was vital to partner with the right promoter and I am thrilled to team up with Kalle, Nisse and the whole team at Wasserman Boxing.
“Very soon, I’ll be able to share news of my comeback fight. Stay tuned.”
Kalle Sauerland, Global Head of Boxing at Wasserman, added: “Michael Conlan is a true icon of Irish boxing, and we are honoured he has decided to join us at Wasserman Boxing.
“Michael has already enjoyed a quite sensational career and is a hero to the people in his homeland, but he isn’t done yet.
“He wants to cement his legacy by capturing the world title, and his determination to achieve that is infectious.
“Nisse and I cannot wait to set out on this journey with Michael, because it promises to be extra-special.”
