Confident Harrington closing on world title

The hand of history will be on Kellie Harrington’s shoulder tomorrow when she meets Thailand’s Sudaporn Seesondee for the AIBA World Elite lightweight title in New Delhi, India.

The Dubliner cruised past Kazakhstan’s Karina Ibragimova on a unanimous decision in yesterday’s semi-final while Seesondee beat Yeonji Oh 4-1 in a reversal of the 2018 Asian Games final which the Korean won 4-1 in Jakarta.
