Conlan will now face either Hugh Joyce or Chris Phelan, who meet later this evening.
I was happy with that win because we’re old rivals,” Conlan told IABA.ie. ”I’ll probably have a tougher fight in the final, Chris Phelan or Hughie Joyce. I can’t see Chris losing, he’s a really good boxer.”
Elsewhere, in the welterweight category, Adam Nolan defeated Brian Brosnan to book his place in the final while there were wins for Sean McComb, Ray Moylette, Jason Quigley and Hannah Carthy.
