Two-time Olympic gold medallist Kellie Harrington has come out of retirement and is set to box at the National Championships in January.

Harrington announced her retirement from the sport after winning gold for the second time at last year's Paris Games. However,  in an interview with the Irish Times, the 35-year-old now says a year out of the ring is enough.
