Conlan won the bronze medal in the flyweight division, making him one of four medal-winning members of Ireland’s boxing team at those Games.Painted by Marty Lyons, the mural appeared shortly after the Olympic success: Conlan and fellow Belfast boxer Paddy Barnes won their medals on 11 August 2012. The artwork was sponsored by local businesses The Beehive and McPeakes. It replaced an earlier Celtic-themed mural on the same wall.The work exemplifies a strand of Belfast’s mural tradition that celebrates local sporting achievements alongside the city’s political and historical narratives. Born in Belfast, Conlan is closely associated with the city’s boxing heritage.
