Carl Frampton believes Michael Conlan's defeat to Leigh Wood nine months ago could turn out to be a "blessing in disguise" for the Belfast boxer.
Conlan had the WBA World featherweight title in his grasp until Wood delivered a devastating 12th-round knockout to retains his belt.
It has been a year of lows and highs for the 31-year-old, who has recorded two wins since that Nottingham nightmare, including last weekend's brilliant first-round stoppage of Karim Guerfi at the SSE Arena.
