The 2018 World Elite champion was part of the Irish team at the European Olympic qualifiers in March in London.

But the tournament was cancelled three days into the competition because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Harrington reached the European Games final last year but had to withdraw because of an arm injury.

The Dublin lightweight returned from the injury in January and won three fights en route to silver  at the Strandja multi-nations in Bulgaria.
