England’s boxers enjoyed a successful first two sessions of Friday’s semi-finals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, with five of their six fighters reaching Saturday’s finals.<\/p>\n
Chantelle Reid and Isaac Okoh both produced disciplined performances in the afternoon session to claim unanimous 5-0 wins against their opponents. <\/p>\n
That followed wins for Sacha Hickey, Patris Mughalzai and Dimeji Shittu in the morning session.<\/p>\n
Damar Thomas has also secured a place in the 90+kg final, where he will meet compatriot Okoh, after his planned opponent, Northern Ireland’s Willie John McCartan, had to pull out of their semi-final with an elbow injury.<\/p>\n
Lauren Mackie is the only English fighter to taste defeat in the semi-finals so far, with another three more – Ruby White, Lucy Kings-Wheatley and Mary Kate Smith – set to compete in the evening session, which is scheduled to begin at 19:00 BST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England’s boxers enjoyed a successful first two sessions of Friday’s semi-finals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":721383,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-721382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=721382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721382\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/721383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=721382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=721382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=721382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
