Conlan had been unbeaten in 16 bouts coming into the clash with Woods and had been ahead on points before suffering a shocking 12th round knock-out that saw him fall through the ropes. Having recovered from that devastating loss, Conlan now takes on experienced brawler Marriaga who has a 30-5-0, 26 KOs record.
Nicknamed The Scorpion, 35-year-old Marriaga made unsuccessful challenges for the WBO featherweight title against Oscar Valdez and against Vasiliy Lomachenko for the WBO junior-lightweight title back in 2017.
The fight is on ESPN and ESPN+ ($6.99/month) in the US. In the UK, Fite.tv has the rights, but you can watch all of the action from Belfast unfold, no matter where in the world. Full information below. Here's how to watch a Michael Conlan vs Miguel Marriaga live stream online from anywhere.
