Michael Conlan KO: Irish boxer shows off nasty facial injuries

Michael Conlan provided an injury update from his hospital bed on Instagram after concerns over the fighters well-being began to circulate following his brutal knockout defeat versus Leigh Wood.

The 30-year-old was hit with some heavy blows in the final 12th round leading to him falling through the ropes in the frightening closing exchanges of the WBA featherweight bout in Nottingham.

Conlan received immediate medical attention at the side of the ring and was later rushed to hospital after being taken away on a stretcher.

The horrific scenes somewhat overshadowed an excellent fight between himself and Wood, putting celebrations for the latter at a bare minimum.

Serval hours after the incident, Conlan took to social media and videoed himself in the early hours of the morning to let his fans know that all the checks had been cleared, while also congratulating his opponent.

“I’m all good just getting checked up in the hospital. The CT scan was all clear.
