“Adam was the only coach I wanted to work with in the UK,” Conlan tells Boxing News. “I don’t feel there’s another coach who can do for me what Adam can do for me. I thought that before I even knew him. I want to be the best and that means I need to work with the best.
“As soon as I arrived, I started to see everything I was doing wrong. He was pointing it out to me. It was just simple, little things, but he was explaining them to me and sticking with them until I understood and corrected them. That’s what I want. I want to be with someone who isn’t just a coach but is also a teacher and a mentor.
“I’ve observed his work over the years and like the way he bonds with fighters and teaches fighters. I feel Adam is an actual teacher. He’s not just a pad-man. I feel he’s the best coach in the UK and one of the best in the world.”
