Donegal boxer Jason Quigley has powered his way to a guaranteed medal at the World Boxing Championships.

Jason is through to last 4 in World Championships.

Jason is through to last 4 in World Championships.

The Ballybofey man was all action in his quarter final bout against Zoltan Harcsa from Hungary.

Despite knocking his man down at the start of the second round with a neat combination, the 22 year old Finn Valley boxer was forced to work all the way for his win.

He entered the third and final round leading by just two points on a score of 20 to 18.

But Quigley managed to wear his opponent down in the final round and eventually won on a scoreline of 30 to 27.

A delighted Quigley saluted the crowd as he secured himself a medal and a place in the semi-final.

The Donegal hard-hitter said he was delighted with his win.

“It’s a massive achievement for me. I wanted to keep the record (31 wins) going.

“The aim was not to complicate things. I had a game plan of two or three things to do and when the first thing started working I just stuck with it.

“I caught him with a lovely right hand in the second round and he went down. From there on the important thing was not to panic, so I didn’t rush in to try and finish it.

“It’s a three-round fight and If he clips me and I go down, then it’s party over. You have to be careful and smart and I think that’s what I was today.”

The victory in Alamaty marked Quigley’s 31st straight victory since moving to middleweight and he will now take on Russia’s Artem Chebotarev in the semi-final on Friday.
