Amy Broadhurst is used to waiting and so will hang tough for a few more days before achieving her childhood dream to box in the Olympic Games.
Ireland's boxers get their qualification bids underway from today in Poland. Broadhurst, last year's World welterweight champion, will be among those stepping into the ring - she faces Serbia's Milena Matovic - and, once she keeps winning, she will have her shot at Paris 2024 early next week.
Last December, the Dundalk fighter announced her decision to move up from 60 kg - where first Katie Taylor and then Kellie Harrington ruled the roost - to 66. From lightweight to welterweight.
