Jamie Conlan is working hard to get Padraig McCrory back in the boxing ring after his defeat to Edgar Berlanga earlier this year. McCrory, also known as the ‘Hammer’, faced his toughest opponent yet in Berlanga and suffered his first loss as a professional. Despite briefly considering retirement, the 35-year-old is determined to make a comeback.
Initially, there were plans for McCrory to fight Luke Keeler on August 3 in an exciting all-Ireland showdown. However, Keeler’s injury has forced a change of plans. Conlan, the head of Conlan Boxing, is hopeful that McCrory will have another fight before the end of the year to finish his career on a high note.
Conlan believes that the pressure is now off McCrory after the Berlanga fight. He acknowledges the weight that McCrory carried into that match and the expectations from his supporters. Moving forward, Conlan is focused on finding the right fights for McCrory that make sense both in terms of his career progression and financially.
Despite the setback with the Keeler fight, McCrory is eager for another chance to prove himself in the ring. Conlan sees more big fights in McCrory’s future and is confident that he will continue to learn and grow from his experiences. The pressure from the Berlanga fight is now behind him, and McCrory is looking forward to what lies ahead.
Conlan’s main goal is to support McCrory in finding opportunities that will elevate his career and keep him in the mix. The experience gained from the Berlanga fight will be crucial in guiding McCrory’s future decisions in the ring. With the right fights and timing, McCrory has the potential for one more shot at a significant victory.
