Jennifer Lehane will make her Olympic debut on Tuesday.
The DCU fighter is the one Irish boxer via the ropes in Paris on a quiet Tuesday.
The bantamweight acquired a bye into the Final 16 so may transfer to inside touching distance of a medal with a morning win.
Standing between Lehane and a quarter-final place is Tokyo Olympian, China’s Chang Yuan. The 27-year-old southpaw is a 2023 Asian Video games silver medalist and received gold at this 12 months’s Strandja.
Lehane will contest an Olympic battle for the primary time when she steps onto the sphere of play to contest Bout 2 of Tuesday’s morning session, at 11:36 am, Irish time.
One of the vital improved fighters on the circuit can be seeking to make it three wins on the bounce for Crew Eire following wins for Jack Marley and Kellie Harrington.
