There she’ll meet a familiar face: Germany’s Azize Nemani, who Walsh previously fought and beat in an international round robin back in 2014.
Elsewhere on Wednesday, Dervla Duffy suffered defeat in her featherweight quarter-final bout with Ornella Wahner and missed out on a medal.
Tomorrow is a rest day but Friday sees two more Irish fighters in the ring.
Lightweight Kellie Harrington and welterweight Grainne Walsh will both try and follow Walsh’s lead and secure at least a silver medal when they take on Irma Testa and Sandy Ryan in their respective semi-finals.
