“If I was done, my own family would tell me,” Conlan said to me 12 months ago, before “comeback” wins against Asad Asif Khan and Jack Bateson. “They would say, ‘Enough is enough.’ My own brother [Jamie] is so close to me and manages me. He would be the one to say, ‘Stop it.’ He doesn’t like to see me fight because we’re brothers and it was the same with me when he was fighting. I didn’t want to see him fight anymore after a certain point. Even when I’ve been winning fights, he has said, ‘I don’t want to see too many more,’ because of how hard the fights can be at times. If he were to say to me, ‘Mick, come on, it’s time to stop, there’s no more here,’ then I would say to him, ‘Sure, no problem.’
