Dundalk's Broadhurst into Olympic qualifying 1/4 final
Amy Broadhurst made it two wins from two fights in Thailand
Dundalk boxer Amy Broadhurst is still on track to compete in this year's Paris Olympics, following her most recent victory in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Bangkok on Wednesday.
Broadhurst, who competes for Great Britain, defeated Terris Smith of Canada with ease, winning 5-0. On Friday, she will fight a Korean opponent in the quarterfinal stage.
The 27-year-old needs two more victories to guarantee her spot at the Paris Games in a weight class where Kellie Harrington is defending her Olympic crown from Tokyo.
Broadhurst told GB Boxing after her victory: "We're halfway there - two more to go. It probably wasn't my best performance but I still got the win and I got it comfortable as well so it says something that even when I’m not at my best, I'm hard to beat."
