WC 2025 - Onto the Next: Ireland

Sunniva dominated Italy in the round of 16, and now Ireland is the obstacle between Sunniva and her first senior World Championship medal.

But he irish boxer Aoife O'Rourke (28) is a huge task; she won gold in the European Championships 2019, 2022 and 2024, she won Europan Games 2023 as well as participated in the Paris Olympics 2024. In addition, she recently also became World Champion in Hyrox, so this girl has got an engine. Sunniva has met her in the ring once, in May 2023, and lost. But now the table is set for a new trial. Sunniva has grown a lot as a boxer the last two years. 

The match will be on Wednesday September 10, at the 12:00 session (13:00 Norwegian time). The bout is no 6 of the session in Ring B (approx. 14:00 Norwegian time). Sunniva will be fighting out of the blue corner.
