The fight will take place over 12 rounds in the Super Featherweight division.

Conlan vs Bateson will be broadcast on Channel 5 in the UK.

“I’m very, very excited to be back here in Dublin.

“I basically forged a lot of my amateur career here and a lot of my success has come in this city. Unbelievable times, coming here, not expected to win the national championships, not expected to qualify for the Games, qualified, then not expected to win a medal but I do.”

He says boxing in Dublin again is an itch he had to scratch, insisting: “It’s a shame it’s happening now when I’m in the twilight stage of my career. I’ll still win a world title but it’s been a long time coming and to finally be back here, I’m ecstatic.

“I’m really excited to go and fight in the 3Arena and be the first boxer to headline both North and South in the SSE and the 3.

“The fact that I’m doing it at this stage of the career doesn’t really matter. As long as I’m doing it, that’s the only thing that matters.”

Decent undercard fight between Marksby v Kelly on now.

Conlan wins with a stoppage in round 4. It was a cagey contest and forgot how much Conlan switch hits. Good victory for him and hope he makes fights against Leigh Wood or Josh Warrington.
