Michael Conlan KO4 Jack Bateson... Over the weekend in Dublin, former Olympian Michael Conlan restored some momentum to his stalled career by knocking out Jack Bateson in the fourth round. Bates beat thge count and seemed clear-headed but he clearly suffered an ankle injury during his fall. It was immediately clear Bates could not put any weight on his ankle, and the referee correctly ended the fight as Bates hopped over to the ropes for support. Conlan (listed at 20-3, but 26-6 is the more accurate record based on paid bouts in the World Series of Boxing) has two wins this year after back-to-back stoppage losses in 2023 and taking the year off in 2024. Bateson is now 20-2-1.
