After speaking to the direct staff, he was sent for a check-up with a doctor who flagged a nasty shoulder injury. She went to speak to chief instructor Billy, and he returned to tell Conor he was pulling him out of the show.
The boxer was left in tears after his time in the process came to an involuntary early end. He initially tried to process and insist that he could soldier on, but the decision was taken out of his hands.
