Lisa O’Rourke will look to become a THREE time World Championship medal winner in Liverpool today.

The talented 70kg boxer, who already has a World gold and silver among her collection, can secure a third medal and bronze at the very least if she defeats Australia’s Lekeisha Pergolit in the quarter final.

The Castlerea woman got to this stage following this storming performance against Colombia’s Shirleidis Orozco, a display she will be confident she can build on.

O’Rourke will be joined in Tuesday action by Paris Olympian Dean Clancy, emerging talent Patsy Joyce and new to the International scene Brian Kennedy.

Joyce takes on Javier Ibanez a Cuban-schooled Bulgarian for a place in the quarter finals, Sligo’s Clancy fights Lasha Guruli in the last 16, while Kennedy makes in World debut against Ukraine’s Danylo Zhasan.
