Featherweight prospect Michael Conlan will make his Las Vegas debut, having been officially added Thursday to the undercard of the Top Rank Boxing on ESPN show on Oct. 20 at the Park Theater at the Park MGM.

Conlan (8-0, 5 KOs), 26, the two-time Olympian from Northern Ireland, has fought primarily in the United States since turning pro last year, including four fights in New York, where there is a large and supportive Irish community. But now it's on to the fight capital of the world.

"It has always been a dream of mine to fight in Las Vegas, and that's becoming a reality thanks to Top Rank," Conlan said. "The 'Conlan Revolution' is rolling into Sin City and ready to turn it green!"

Conlan will face Nicola Cipolletta (14-6-2, 4 KOs), 30, of Italy, in a featherweight bout scheduled for eight rounds on the undercard of the show headlined by secondary middleweight world titlist Ryota Murata (14-1, 11 KOs), 32, of Japan, making his second defense against mandatory challenger Robert Brant (23-1, 16 KOs), 28, of Saint Paul, Minnesota.

The main card will air live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 10:30 p.m. ET with Conlan-Cipolletta being the featured bout on the portion of the undercard that will stream live on ESPN+ beginning at 7 p.m. ET.

Conlan is coming off the first fight of his pro career at home in Belfast, where he rolled to a one-sided eight-round decision win against former junior featherweight world title challenger Adeilson Dos Santos on June 30. Cipolletta is coming off a second-round knockout of Jozsef Ajtai on Aug. 3.

The ESPN+ portion of the card will also include Russian featherweight and Conlan nemesis Vladimir Nikitin (1-0), 28, who turned pro in July with a six-round decision victory against Edward Kakembo.

Nikitin won a hugely controversial decision over Conlan in the 2016 Olympic quarterfinals that prompted Conlan to famously lash out at the judges by giving them double middle fingers in the ring and then saying that Russian president Vladimir Putin had paid off the judges to give the decision to Nikitin, who was so busted up from the fight that he withdrew from the competition and was unable to fight in the semifinals.

Nikitin, who will face Clay Burns (5-4-2, 0 KOs), 31, of Alexandria, Louisiana, in an eight-round fight, signed with Top Rank earlier this year for the express purpose of eventually fighting Conlan in a professional rematch.

The card will also include:

• In a previously announced co-feature, fast-rising junior welterweight prospect "Mad Max" Maxim Dadashev (11-0, 10 KOs), 27, a Russia native fighting out of Oxnard, California, will fight former lightweight titlist Antonio DeMarco (33-6-1, 24 KOs), 32, a southpaw from Mexico. The fight was originally scheduled for Sept. 14 but was postponed when Dadashev suffered a slight biceps tear.

• Middleweight contender and 2012 Brazilian Olympic silver medalist Esquiva Falcao (21-0, 15 KOs), 28 -- who lost a close fight to Murata in the Olympic final -- will fight Guido Pitto (25-5-2, 8 KOs), 31, of Argentina, in a 10-rounder.

• Junior welterweight prospect Fazliddin Gaibnazarov (5-0, 2 KOs), a 2016 Olympic gold medalist from Uzbekistan, will face Wilberth Lopez (23-9, 15 KOs), 23, of Mexico, in an eight-round bout.

• Heavy-handed bantamweight prospect Joseph Adorno (9-0, 9 KOs), 19, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, who has scored seven first-round knockouts, will take on Kevin Cruz (8-0, 5 KOs), 27, of Puerto Rico, in a six-round fight.

• Featherweight prospect Adam Lopez (10-1, 4 KOs), 22, of Glendale, California, will fight Hector Ambriz (12-7-2, 6 KOs), 23, of Mexico, in an eight-rounder.

• Israeli middleweight David Kaminsky (2-0, 1 KO), 18, of Tarzana, California, will face Noah LaCoste (2-0, 2 KOs), 33, of Houma, Louisiana, in a four-rounder at middleweight.
