Ahead of the Saturday’s RTÉ Sports Awards, we take a look at one of the nominees for the RTÉ Sports Person of the Year Award, boxer Michael Conlan.
Conlan booked his place at next year's Rio Olympics back in April through his triumphs in the World Series of Boxing before he became the first ever Irishman to win World Championship gold with his bantamweight final victory against Murodjon Akhmadaliev in Doha.
The winner will be revealed and presented with their awards at The RTÉ Sports Awards in association with Sport Ireland which will be broadcast live on RTÉ One, Saturday 19 December at 9.40pm.
Presented by Darragh Maloney, the live show will review what was another momentous year for Irish athletes and teams, and look back on the dramatic and memorable sporting moments of 2015.
