By MARK GALLAGHER Amy and Lisa aim to strike gold in Istanbul

AMY Broadhurst and Lisa O’Rourke will both fight in a world championship final in Istanbul today after top displays in their semi-finals yesterday. It is the first time that Ireland will have two boxers fighting for gold medals at the same championships. The pair will aim to join Katie Taylor and Kellie Harrington on Ireland’s roll call of female world champions. Securing a silver has already guaranteed them both $50,000 in prize money but that may rise to $100,000. Broadhurst (right) was considered a potential medalist at lightwelterweight before the start of the championships and the Dundalk southpaw beat India’s teenage sensation Parveen Hooda in her semi-final, taking the decision 4-1 on the judges’ scorecards. She will face Algeria’s Imane Khelif in today’s final. O’Rourke beat home favourite, Turkey’s Sema Caliskan. The Castlerea native won the fight on all five judges’ scorecards to set up a final against Helena Alcinda of Mozambique.
