Kellie Harrington will seek to take home the second gold medal of Tokyo 2020 for Team Ireland in the final of the women's lightweight boxing. The whole nation will be getting behind the Dubliner, so we have all the info you need on when Kellie Harrington's gold medal fight is on from Tokyo.
Who is Kellie Harrington fighting?
Dubliner Harrington will take on Beatriz Ferreira in the gold medal fight of the women's lightweight division. Ferreira is the current world champion, having taken the crown in 2019 before a COVID-enforced year break.
Given Harrington won the previous world championship in 2018, we're all set up for a cracking fight in Tokyo.
When is Kellie Harrington's gold medal fight?
Kellie Harrington will face Beatriz Ferreira on Sunday morning at 6am Irish time (2pm Tokyo time).
How to watch the final?
RTÉ 2 have coverage running through the night (starting at 11pm on Saturday night), and will be showing Harrington's fight live at 6. We imagine that there will be at least half an hour of buildup to the fight.

Alternatively, Eurosport and BBC are also carrying overnight coverage from Tokyo, so you might be able to catch the fight there if you're looking for an alternative.
Are there any other Irish in action?
Amazingly, the Olympics are already at their final weekend, and Sunday will see the closing ceremony follow after Harrington's fight, at 12pm Irish time.
Between now and then, though, there's plenty of Irish involvement, and an outside chance at another medal for Team Ireland.
