Team Northern Ireland boxers Michaela Walsh and Kaci Rock won their respective semi-finals to move into Saturday's gold medal bouts.
Walsh defeated Fiji's Jasmine Daunakamakama in the women's featherweight by unanimous decision.
The 33-year-old edged a cagey first round with her experience telling in the next two rounds which she also won as she eased to victory.
The Holy Family fighter, who has earned a medal in each of her four successive Games appearances, will look to win back-to-back golds after triumphing four years ago, having won silver in Glasgow in 2014 and at the Gold Coast Games in 2018.
She will face India's Jaismine Jaismine in the final, but plans to enjoy her semi-final win which guarantees at least another silver, by completing her Irish lesson for the day on the language app Duolingo.
