Conor McGregor Applauds Kellie Harrington’s Historic Win: ‘Two-Time Olympic Champion’

Conor McGregor showed some love to two-time Olympic champion Kellie Harrington following her gold medal-winning performance in the women’s 60kg boxing division.

Harrington, who hails from McGregor’s native Ireland and brought home the gold three years ago in Tokyo, delivered a dominant showing against China’s Yang Wenlu, securing a 4-1 victory at Roland Garros to become the first Irish woman to win gold medals at two Olympics. She is just one of four Irish athletes to retain an Olympic title.

Her accomplishment scored some recognition from McGregor, who offered congratulations to Harrington while enjoying the festivities at home alongside his youngest son, Mack McGregor.
