Michael Conlan was transported to the hospital after the knockout, underwent tests, but is doing well.

In addition to losing the interim champion title and the opportunity to unify the belts, Michael Conlan also lost his unbeaten record in his career. The Irishman had 16 wins in 16 appearances as of last Saturday.

On the other side, Leigh Wood defended the WBA featherweight belt for the first time. The Brit now has 26 wins and two losses in his professional career.
