Boxing Ireland said it was a "high-tempo, close-quarters bout", and the 5-0 decision went to Kazakhstan’s Aida Abikeyeva.

The three boxers now face semi-finals later in the week, where a loss would see them pick up a bronze medal, while a win would give them a shot at gold in Sunday’s finals.

The former IBA World Champion lost by split decision to Australia's Lekeisha Pergoliti in their quarter-final.
