Kellie Harrington

Kellie Harrington is a history making double Olympic boxing champion. From the empty arena in Tokyo to a sold-out Roland Garros in Paris, Kellie has overcome every challenge she has faced. Kellie is the first Irish woman in history to defend an Olympic title.

Kellie is proud to represent not just her country but her community in Portland Row in Dublin’s North Inner City. She has become a huge role model for young aspiring athletes in the area.

Kellie works part time in St. Vincent’s hospital and believes her job is as important as her boxing career. Kellie also has a huge love for dogs and often visits the DSPCA animal shelter to help with the vital work the charity carries out.
