Ireland’s Kellie Harrington was victorious on her return to the ring after a seven-month injury layoff.
The former world champion withdrew from the lightweight final at the European Games last June with a thumb injury and has been sidelined since.
However, at the Strandja Multi-Nation tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria, Harrington won her quarter-final bout against Aneta Rygielska from Poland.
The event is a warm-up for the Olympic qualifying events which will see Harrington box in the European section in London in March.
