THE WHOLE OF Ireland was outraged by the apparent robbery of Irish boxer Michael Conlan in his bout in Rio yesterday.
And little Finn McManus in Dublin was just as upset.

Offering Conlan his school medal, he said:
Hi Michael,
My name is Finn McManus and I am five years old. I saw your fight in Rio and you should have won because you are the best boxer in the world. I want you to have my school medal because you are a winner. I hope you like it, from Finn.
What a legend.
The post has gone viral from the Belfast Boxers Facebook page and on Finn’s Uncle’s Twitter last night – with over 6000 likes and 1000 shares.
Uncle Joe also confirmed that it was Finn’s older sister that wrote the letter for him – which might explain the high quality handwriting.
Finn deserves an Olympic medal himself for soundness. Well played young man.
