Northern Ireland boxer Michael Conlan has vowed to deal with the pressure on his shoulders at this summer's Commonwealth Games.

Conlan opened up his bantamweight challenge with victory over Mathew Martin on Friday, in a bout where both fighters suffered head injuries.

"It is all part of it all, all part of the job. It is my job, it is something that I love doing and it is all part of it so I have to remain focused," he told Sports Mole.

All three judges awarded the victory in Conlan's favour.
