The partner of Irish Olympic hero Kellie Harrington has said she “never doubted” that she would bring home the gold.

Harrington grabbed victory over Brazil’s Beatriz Ferreira by a unanimous points decision to become only the second Irish female boxer to win an Olympic medal after Katie Taylor’s gold in London 2012.
