Kellie Harrington out of European Championships

World lightweight champion Kellie Harrington will miss next month's European Boxing Championships with a hand injury. 

IABA high performance coach Bernard Dunne has confirmed that the Dubliner will miss the tournament as she's still recovering from a thumb injury sustained at the European Games. 

Harrington had to sit out the final in Minsk last month with the issue and Dunne says they don't want to aggravate the injury ahead of the Worlds later this year.
