Ireland’s Jack Woolley guarantees medal at European Games

Boxer beats Slovakia’s Miroslava Jedinakova in lightweight (60kg) division

“I’m just proud, just reflecting back, I didn’t showcase my full abilities. I’m on fire, and I’m so excited to go into the finals, against a player I have fought before. It’s always an exciting match, I’m just glad I got to show what Jack Woolley is made of for once.”

Kellie Harrington opened the European Games in Poland with a victory over Slovakia’s Miroslava Jedinakova in the lightweight division. The Olympic gold medallist excelled in the final round in particular and registered a 4-1 victory. Harrington scored three 10:9 results from four of the five judges, with Canada’s Edward Blanchard awarding Jedinakova a 2-1 overall win.

Harrington is only two wins away from securing her place at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, with the four semi-finalists in the division gaining qualification. Meanwhile, Dean Clancy eased past Austria’s Arsen Chabyan in the lightweight division , taking the overall decision 5:0 to progress. Commonwealth Games champion 57kg Jude Gallagher was on the wrong side of a split decision in his last 32 bout against Bulgaria’s Javier Ibanez Diaz.
