Irish boxer pursues dream after freak dental mishap

Rose Ceire Smith means it when she says she is made of stronger stuff. A boxer is supposed to be in any case, more so when she is representing her national team in a World Championship. But what bookends the Irish's assertion, more than the upper cuts, the hooks and the jabs in the ring, is the manner in which she recalled a freak dental mishap, which ended in a surgery to remove an instrument that found its way into her gut. "The incident happened five years back and it had affected my boxing then, but it is over now and I have moved on. I am happy about that," a calm and composed Smith said after winning her 51kg first round bout against Gabriela Dimitrova of Bulgaria here.
