Ireland’s Kellie Harrington was crowned Olympic champion after beating Wenlu Yang at Roland Garros in the women’s 60kg final.

Following a cagey start, Yang began to land more punches and looked to be in control, but Harrington regained her composure and landed a flurry of body shots before the bell went.

The Chinese fighter burst out of the blocks in the second round with a strong punch to the nose, but Harrington continued to cause damage with some heavy body shots.

A comfortable final round saw the Irishwoman land some quick jabs to wrap up her country’s fourth gold medal of the Games.
