The only reason I'm still boxing is to win a world title," said Conlan, who took a 16-month sabbatical from the ring before beating Asad Asif Khan in March."You can make big money on the way but a world title is where my head's at. If it's not that it has to be a big fight that's worth an awful lot of money."For a world title fight I'd love to have it at Madison Square Garden in New York on St Patrick's Day and if not then Dublin on St Patrick's Day."Conlan delivers emphatic win against BatesonPublished5 September'In the right place at the right time'Conlan credited his coach Grant Smith after the fight, and described the lead up to the punch that proved decisive and saw the fight stopped with 10 seconds remaining of round four."We knew not to get carried away too early, just get the job done. We knew we would get it done eventually," he said."Change stances, switch from southpaw back to orthodox, touch, jab, right hand over the top. We've worked on it, landed, game over."I'm buzzing. I'm really enjoying it, being in the new set-up, the new team. I just know I'm in the right place at the right time. I'm very happy."Conlan says his experience of fighting in the Irish capital makes him believe Dublin can become a renowned boxing city like his native Belfast."I want to make Dublin like Belfast. Belfast is unbelievable, the talent that we have," he said. "With big shows like this Dublin can become like that and build the opportunity for the next generation to become stars."Related topicsBoxingBoxing schedule and results 2025Published2 days agoWatch every Born to Brawl episodePublished28 April 2024More boxing from the BBCNotifications, social media and more with BBC SportPublished16 August
