Michael Conlan

Michael Conlan is impossible for me to think about without the 2016 Olympics. That controversial quarter-final loss in Rio, and his furious reaction, became one of boxing's defining moments of injustice, and it lit the fuse for his pro career later that year. Before that he was already a world, European and Commonwealth champion as an amateur and an Olympic bronze medallist, plus RTÉ Sports Person of the Year in 2015. The 2022 Ali-Frazier Award only confirms the company he keeps. A Belfast fighter from Northern Ireland who boxed for Ireland - those layered identities make him a fascinating figure, and his ring walks have a theatre all their own.
