Jake Paul's clash with Tommy Fury to clash with Michael Conlan homecoming

Jake Paul's bout against Tommy Fury is set to clash with Michael Conlan's homecoming after the bout was announced yesterday.

Paul's fight with Fury, the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was due to take place last December but was cancelled due to a Tommy Fury injury.

But the pair will now meet in the blockbuster bout in Madison Square Garden on August 6.

The card will also feature Katie Taylors foe Amanda Serrano take on Brenda Carabajal.

But Michael Conlan will also return to the ring that night when he takes on Miguel Marriaga at the SSE Arena in Belfast.

Conlan suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of Leigh Wood in a stunning final round knockout last March and he will return home in his hopes of slowly building towards another world title fight.

Thankfully though the times of the two fights should not clash with Conlan's bout set to start sometime around 10 pm Irish time.

Jake Paul's clash would likely not kick off until around 4 am Irish time so boxing fans will be able to put the feet up and enjoy both.
