Michael Conlan says he "cried for days" after losing out in his world title bid back in March.
The Belfast boxer was seconds away from realising a lifelong ambition, but Leigh Wood's brutal 12th-round knockout sent Conlan - and his dreams - crashing through the ropes at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham.
Five months on and the 30-year-old has refocused, accepting that March's defeat was a mere bump on his road to glory.
