The Wicklow lightweight and Belfast bantamweight beat Dominica’s Valerian Spicer and Jamaica’s Sarah Joy Rae respectively on unanimous decisions to join Claire Grace in the last 16.

Grace is set to meet Turkey’s Guluzar Kara today, but it remains to be seen if the Kilkenny southpaw will pass this morning’s medical due to a cut over her left eye sustained in Monday’s win against Romania’s Cristina Stanca.
