The Dubliner won gold at the Women's World Elite Boxing Championships.
Kellie Harrington is to arrive home to a hero's welcome this evening.
The 28 year old made history by clinching the lightweight title at the World Elite Boxing Championships in New Dehli.
She defeated Thailand's Sudaporn Seesondee 3-2 in a split decision.
It means she's the first Irish boxer to win medals in two different weights at this level.
Two years ago, Kellie won silver in the light welterweight division.
Thanks everyone for all the support ?
