Ireland's Katie Taylor booked her spot in the 60kg final at the Women's World Boxing Championships by seeing off China's Yin Junhua in Jeju City, South Korea.
Taylor, who moved past Russian rival Sofya Ochigava on Friday, continued her path towards five successive golds with victory over Yin.
The 28-year-old did not let her passionate Irish fans down as the Chinese ringside threw in the towel at the beginning of the fourth round, with Taylor setting up a final clash with Azerbaijan's southpaw Yana Alekseevna.
The Olympic gold medallist told the official International Boxing Association website: "I am delighted to be in another final.
"I was surprised that the towel came in but it looked like she hurt her hand in the third round. The plan was just plenty of feints.
"Sometimes you have to be really patient against those kind of boxers. These kind of matches are just like a chess match. It is a game of patience most of the time.
"I am looking forward to the challenge tomorrow."
