Michaela Walsh has booked her place in the last-16 at the World Women's Elites in Ulan-Ude, Siberia after picking up her third straight win.
Walsh defeated Mali’s Carmara Fatoumata via unanimous decision to join Cavan’s Ceire Smith and Cork’s Christina Desmond in the last 16, where she will meet Russia's Liudmila Vorontsova on Tuesday morning for a place in the quarter-finals.
The final score cards read 30-25,30-25,30-25,30-25, and 30-26 in Walsh's favour.
The Belfast fighter outclassed her West African opponent who was forced to take a standing count in the third round.
Meanwhile, Dundalk lightweight Amy Broadhurst faces top Germany’s Youth prospect Maya Kleinhans in the last 32 tomorrow.
Former Irish coach Eddie Bolger is the the current German coach, and will be working in Kleinhans' corner for the fight.
