Michel- ‘Conroy will be a good warm-up’

Serge Michel takes on Liam Conroy in the MTK Golden Contract semi-final at the end of the month, and Michel is already looking past Conroy towards the final.

The two men will meet on a massive card on September 30, which will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports in association with Matchroom Boxing, and live in the US on ESPN+ in association with Top Rank.

Michel (10-1, 7 KOs) received the Golden Ball during last week’s draw and decided to pick Conroy (18-5-1, 9 KOs), and the German is in an overly confident mood.

Michel said: “I never expected the Golden Ball to stay inside the bag until the end, so I guess God’s hand was in the game in my favor.

“I haven’t been in the ring since December when it was the quarter-finals, and Liam Conroy will be a good warm-up for me before the finals.

“My coach and father will study Liam, and I trust and listen to what is said. Of course, together with my coach, I’ll take a look at one of the other fights of Conroy, and then we will set up our plan.

“I will come to England as a guest, and I expect a tough fight and no gifts. I have trained hard for this, and I will win clearly and convincingly.

“I think these last few months were not easy for everyone, but I never lost sight of my goal, and the goal is to win the tournament. This forced break makes me even more hungry for this fight than ever.”

The semi-final between Conroy vs. Michel takes place on the undercard of the #GoldenContract super-lightweight and featherweight finals, as Ohara Davies faces Tyrone McKenna, and Ryan Walsh takes on Jazza Dickens.

The other light-heavyweight semi-final sees Hosea Burton travel to Latvia to take on Richards Bolotniks on September 26, with that fight broadcast live on IFL TV.
