Billy Walsh lauds Irish Olympic boxers

Irish Olympic boxing coach Billy Walsh says he's delighted that the boxing team has surpassed his expectations and now each Irish boxer is chasing their own Olympic dream.

Watch Michael Conlon's quarter-final victory over Nordine Oubaali of France.

Conlan, 20, defeated France's Nordine Oubaali 22-18 in the quarter-finals to become the third Irish boxer to clinch a medal in London.

St John Bosco club-man Conlan will fight Cuban Robeisy Ramirez Carrazana in the semi-finals on Friday evening.
