It was a historic day for Irish boxing on Thursday as both Amy Broadhurst and Lisa O'Rourke won their IBA World Championship finals in Istanbul.
The victories meant it was one of the most successful occasions for Irish boxing ever. The duo have written themselves into the gold medal history books - only Katie Taylor, Kellie Harrington and Michael Conlon have had such success in finals.

O'Rourke stepped into the ring straight after Broadhurst's fight and faced off against Alcinda Panguane of Mozambique in the light middleweight division final. The Roscommon boxer, like her Irish counterpart, looked confident in the three-round battle and came out on top on in a 4-1 victory to give Ireland the double on a momentous day in Turkey.
