Michael Conlan has revealed the astonishing realities he has faced in cutting weight ahead of big fights in his career.
Conlan has previously fought at super-bantamweight (8st 10lbs), but more regularly the Olympic silver medallist competes at featherweight which holds a 9st limit.
And Conlan admitted he has piled on two stone since fighting Leigh Wood in Nottingham back in March of this year, a fight which saw him knocked out of the ring in a frightening ending.
