JORDAN GILL did not owe us the admission he made on Saturday night after he had just stopped Michael Conlan in Belfast . He did not need to admit that he had dragged himself back from the brink, that in June he was going to take his own life, but in a moment of staggering honesty he did just that . When interviewed by DAZN in the ring after his win, he said: “After the [Kiko] Martinez loss, I lost touch with myself. I broke up with my wife. On 30 June I was in a field… and I was going to kill myself. Somebody came and saved me that day.”
