“It was a slog but now I’m enjoying it more and you’re going to see even better performances because of that,” he said.

“I think I can go up another weight too - become a world champion at that weight and I go down as a three-weight world champion, the only ever Irishman to do that, and then you’re talking about the hall of fame and that’s a big deal.

“I am trying to build a legacy and to do that you have to fight in America and take these risky fights. I am enjoying boxing again and that will show in Vegas.”
