Jay Byrne Teases ‘Top-Level’ Additions to JB Promotions/Conlan Boxing Stable

Michael Conlan won’t be the only big name JB Promotions will be teaming up with up north, hints Jay Byrne.

The promoter says his new venture, a merging of JB Promotions and Conlan Boxing in Belfast and its surrounds, will be bolstered by some top talent.

The former boxers are already working on an exciting new stable of fighters, some of whom they hope to showcase on a November debut show.

“We are in talks with some top-level boxers at the minute and it looks like we’re going to have a nice stable starting to build up north,” Byrne explained when speaking to Irish-boxing.com.

“We already have some fighters. I have some fighters, Mick has some fighters up north already, so we have a base to start with like we did when we started our first show down south.”

The former BUI and BBBofC Celtic champion and the Olympic medal winner are now putting the final pieces in place ahead of formally launching the new operation, with Byrne confirming that the first show is pencilled in for the end of November.

“It will be at the end of November. We’ll confirm the date when this show [September 26] is out of the way.

“We just have a couple of little things, paperwork to finalise and myself and Mick will kick off up the north,” he adds before pointing out the Belfast venture will be run independent to operations down south.

“It’s a totally separate entity. JB Promotions down south and then it will be JB Promotions/Conlan Boxing up the north, myself and Mick together up north.

“Our job is to build up north in the same fashion that we done down in the south,” Byrne added.

“We want to bring the same level of activity, the same level of promotion, production and the whole lot up to the north.”
