Michael Conlan has signed a deal with the Wasserman Boxing agency headed by well-known promoter Kalle Sauerland as he attempts to maintain his world title ambitions.

The Belfast man, 33, has not fought since being knocked out in seven rounds by England’s Jordan Gill in December 2023.

That defeat came after world title losses against Leigh Wood and Luis Alberto Lopez.

Conlan said this month that he was targeting a return to the ring in 2025 and is being tipped to fight on a 7 March bill in Brighton when his fellow Belfastman Tyrone McKenna will take on Harlem Eubank.

Unbeaten Eubank, a cousin of Chris Eubank Jnr, is part of the Wasserman Boxing stable which also includes British light-middleweight champion Josh Kelly.

“I still firmly believe I have the ability to get to the very top, and I did not want to retire and 10 or 15 years down the line thinking ‘what if?’,” said Conlan.

“For this defining period in my career, it was vital to partner with the right promoter and I am thrilled to team up with Kalle, [his brother] Nisse and the whole team at Wasserman Boxing.”
