England's McGrail said he wants to "take the medal back for my family", while Leicester's Paige Murney said she would win gold "for the kids back on the estate" after reaching the women's -60kg final.

There will be 16 gold medal matches on Saturday and England's Galal Yafai (46-49kg) will be a strong favourite after delivering the only stoppage win of Friday's early session.

Wales' Lauren Price progressed and will meet Australian opposition in Caitlin Parker for -75kg gold and Northern Ireland's Brendan Irvine beat Scotland's Reece McFadden to move into a final with India's Gaurav Solanki at -52kg.

England's Pat McCormack will face Northern Ireland's Aidan Walsh at -69kg, while Walsh's sister will compete with the home crowd roaring on Australian Sky Nicolson in the -57kg final.

Frazer Clarke - sparring partner to world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua - will also bid for gold at +91kg, as will Wales' Sammy Lee at -81kg.

Whiteside, who has faced challenges in returning to the sport after fracturing her skull in 2015, edged a split decision against Australia's Taylah Robertson in the opening bout of the day.

She told BBC Sport: "I was on their home turf and still got the decision. I'm in the final and it means the world. I know at home my mum will be crying her eyes out. No-one is taking gold off me."

Wales' Rosie Eccles and England's Sandy Ryan ensured they would meet in the women's -69kg final with wins earlier in the week.

Northern Ireland's Kristina O'Hara also won through at 45-48kg in midweek and will be in the first final on Saturday, at 03:02 BST.
