Williams guarantees first Wales boxing medal
- Published
Heavyweight Connor Williams has guaranteed himself at least a bronze medal after winning his quarter-final bout against Niue's Duken Holo Tutakitoa-Williams by split decision.
Four out of five judges scored the cagey fight in the Swansea boxer's favour as team-mates Rosie Eccles and Owain Harris-Allan cheered on from the stands.
"I'm very happy with a bronze medal," Williams said.
"Anything less, I'd be disappointed but I'm not done yet, I'm gunning for that gold medal.
"I've had two good wins now. I'm building a lot of momentum, I feel like I'm destined for this."
Earlier in the session Helen Jones lost her women's 54kg quarter-final against England's Lauren Mackie by unanimous decision.
Wales will have Harris-Allan, Eccles, Orlando Holley-Sotomi, Niamh Brookes and Daniel Pitt are in quarter-final bouts on Wednesday.
