Bronze medal winner Aidan Walsh has emerged as an injury doubt ahead of his Olympic semi-final on Sunday against number one seed Pat McCormack from England.
It is believed the Belfast welterweight may have damaged his ankle when he landed in the ring after his victory leap earlier today.
However, the Irish camp are optimistic that the 23-year-old will be fit to fight in what will be a repeat of the 2018 Commonwealth Final which McCormack won
Walsh walked normally through the mixed zone after the fight but later he left the boxing stadium in a wheelchair being pushed by his sister Michaela.
According to a statement from the Olympic Federation of Ireland, Walsh has a slight sprain but is looking forward to fighting on Sunday.
