Irish boxing’s High Performance chief Jon Mackey will sit down with Kellie Harrington at the year’s end to discuss what plans, if any, the two-time Olympic champion has when it comes to the ring.

Harrington announced her retirement after retaining her lightweight title in Paris last summer, but the Dubliner is still training in Irish boxing’s elite training centre at the Sports Ireland Campus in Abbotstown.
