Irish boxer recovering after being knocked out of the ring

Irish boxer Michael Conlan was conscious and stable in hospital, where he was recovering after being knocked out of the ring by England'sLeigh Wood in their WBA featherweight title fight at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena.

Wood, 33, recovered from an early knockdown to retain his title.

In the final round, a bruising right hand seemed to buckle Conlan before Wood unloaded with a further flurry to back up his opponent, who tumbled between the ropes and out of the ring. Conlan was stretchered out of the arena.

Conlan later tweeted: "I'm all good folks, cheers for the messages. I'll be back, good shot and congrats to Leigh and his team."
