Michael Conlan agrees ‘long-term’ deal with Wasserman

Wasserman Boxing have signed a “long-term” promotional agreement with Ireland’s Michael Conlan. 

The featherweight, 33, is therefore potentially on course to be added to the undercard of the fight on March 7 between his friend Harlem Eubank and Tyrone McKenna at the Brighton Centre in Brighton, England.

In 2024 Wasserman relaunched the career of Charlie Edwards, and, similarly, they intend on guiding Conlan to a potential third world-title fight.

Conlan, who trained alongside Eubank under Adam Booth and competed at the 2016 Olympic Games, had previously considered retirement, but he said: “I turned professional in 2017 with a clear goal – to become world champion.

“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, be thinking ‘What if?’. And 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 and Nisse [Sauerland] and the whole team at Wasserman Boxing.

“Very soon, I’ll be able to share news of my comeback fight. Stay tuned.” 

“Michael Conlan is a true icon of Irish boxing, and we are honoured he has decided to join us at Wasserman Boxing,” Kalle Sauerland said.

“Michael has already enjoyed a quite sensational career and is a hero to the people in his homeland, but he isn’t done yet. He wants to cement his legacy by capturing the world title, and his determination to achieve that is infectious.

“Nisse and I cannot wait to set out on this journey with Michael, because it promises to be extra-special.”
