Featherweight Michael Conlan returns home to Ireland to see if he has another title run left in his career.
Conlan (19-3, 9 KOs) will face Jack Bateson (20-1-1, 6 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round bout for the WBC international featherweight title. The 33-year-old Conlan has gone 1-2 in his last three fights, which led to many wondering if he would continue to fight. The two losses he suffered were brutal stoppages, which questioned whether he could still show glimpses of his younger self. His last fight in March was an eight-round decision victory over Asad Asif Khan, leading him to this fight with Bateson. Can Conlan revive his career with a statement victory, or will this be the fight that pushes him into retirement?
Per DraftKings SportsBook, Michael Conlan is the favorite at -240, and Jack Bateson is the underdog at +185.
Michael Conlan: TKO/KO +370; Decision -110
Draw: +1400
Jack Bateson: TKO/KO +400; Decision +500
These timings could change due to the length of the undercard fights.
