Harrington also becomes the third Irish boxer after Katie Taylor and Michael Conlan to win World Elite gold.

“It’s always been my dream to become a World champion. The support from home has been phenomenal as well, I would like to thank everyone for their support,” said the new world champion after her fifth win in New Delhi.

The Dubliner was the first Irish boxer into the ring in New Delhi on Friday week last and she was the last Irish boxer out of the ring today – with a gold medal.

The Irish squad are due to arrive home via Dublin Airport at 4pm tomorrow (Terminal 1). All media are invited to Sunday’s homecoming.
