Ireland’s World Championships Medal Record

Kelyn Cassidy came close to joining an exclusive club last week.

The Waterford fighter made a charge for a World Championship medal but ultimately fell at the final hurdle.

Quarterfinal defeat to Aliaksei Alfiorau prevented the Saviors Crystal talent from winning bronze at the very least in Serbia on Tuesday.

Victory would have seen Cassidy claim Ireland’s 22nd World Championship and become only the 12th Irish fighter to stand on the podium at a Worlds.

Tommy Corr was the first in 1982 and Kellie Harrington the last in 2019. Below is a list of all our World Elite Championship medal winners.
