What a morning for Irish boxing as Kellie Harrington picks up Gold for Ireland at the Tokyo Olympics, great scenes at home on the Portland Row. She defeated Beatriz Ferreira by unanimous decision and then the celebrations started all over Ireland in the early hours. Could we be looking at another Katy Taylor? She’s certainly a talented boxer Kellie Harrington and wouldn’t it be great to see her go on ever further after this Olympic medal. Eddie Hearn if your watching… Well done Kellie Harrington.

Kellie Harrington won that fight on a unanimous decision after losing the first round. That in itself is incredible. That might be one of the best performances we’ve ever seen by an Irish athlete. #Olympics #boxing #kellieharrington
