Kellie Harrington opens up on retirement plans on RTE's The Late Late Show

Olympic gold medalist Kellie Harrington revealed on The Late Late Show this evening that she plans to retire from boxing after the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

The Tokyo gold medalist, who just took home gold at the European Championships last week, was appearing on the show to promote her new book entitled 'Kellie.' In a wide-ranging interview, the Dubliner spoke about her beginnings as a troubled teenager and how boxing helped 'save her life.'

With victory at the European Championships, Kellie has completed the hat-trick of major titles having already won World and Olympic Gold. The 32-year-old will look to defend her crown in Paris in a couple of years time, and after that retirement is likely.
