Amy Broadhurst aims to take a step closer to Olympics qualification on Saturday when she steps into the ring in Poland.
Last year's world welterweight champion faces Serbia's Milena Matovic this evening, with her bout scheduled to start at 5.45.
The Dundalk native has moved up to 66kg and admits that her opponents hit much harder at the higher weight as she aims to make a lifelong dream come true by qualifying for the Olympics.

"Since I've been a young girl I've always wanted to go to the Olympics and I've always said that I wouldn't give up on that dream," said Broadhurst.
"There have been highs and lows to my career. I faced losses and to actually be one step away from going to an Olympic Games, to even go to a qualifier in itself is a big achievement for me.
"And if you asked me if I want to win the Worlds three times or go to the Olympics and become an Olympic champion, the answer is to become an Olympic champion.
"I'm really looking forward to being a part of the team over there and hopefully bringing back qualification and a nice medal."
