Day four of the World Boxing Championships in Liverpool brought mixed fortunes for GB boxers at the M&S Bank Arena.<\/p>\n
Paris 2024 Olympian Chantelle Reid moved within one victory of a guaranteed medal, while Dimeji Shittu and Patris Mughalzairecorded their first wins of the tournament.<\/p>\n
There was disappointment, however, as Ellis Trowbridge and Elise Glynn exited the competition, alongside Scotland\u2019s Aaron Cullen.<\/p>\n
Shittu was the first to secure victory on day four as he stepped into action against Czech Republic\u2019s Adam Hajek. Using his reach to control the distance, he boxed with efficiency and by round three was cruising to a unanimous decision on all five judges\u2019 scorecards.<\/p>\n
Shittu said: \u201cIt\u2019s good that all the stuff I\u2019ve been working on in camp is coming to fruition and I\u2019m executing it. When I box and I get that rhythm, get in that flow and I start enjoying it, I just love it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a long wait. Ask anyone. I\u2019ve been itching all week. Even last night, I\u00a0kept waking up in the middle of night check my phone like, oh, is it time? Is it time? But it\u2019s here now, the first one out the way and I\u2019m raring to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Next up was Reid, who landed fast, clean combinations and held her ground in a gripping contest with Poland\u2019s Barbara Marcinkowska. She took the opening round 3-2 after switching angles effectively, then rallied through a fiery second round before sealing victory with composure and power in the final stages \u2013 earning her second win of the week.<\/p>\n
Reid said: \u201cI just want to say a massive thank you to my corner, Graham. It\u2019s good work we did today and I\u2019m just happy with the performance and result of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I\u2019m just going to get better as the tournament goes on. I can\u2019t see myself coming away from the competition with less than a gold medal now.\u00a0I\u2019ve come this far, I\u2019ve put the effort in, training, the preparation for it\u2019s been amazing. We\u2019re going to get that gold medal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Closing the day\u2019s action with the team\u2019s final victory was Mughalzai, who faced USA\u2019s Rene Camacho. After a cautious first round assessing his opponent, he used speed and movement to dominate the latter stages, frustrating Camacho and cruising to a composed points win.<\/p>\n
