    Not long to go now, though we think they're are currently a little behind schedule in the boxing arena.

    Joyce, remember, is the 6ft 6in giant from London who also has a degree in fine art.

    Yoka is the world champion who beat Joyce in the semi-final on the way to that title in 2015.

    Joe will be warmed up. He's probably doing pad work, getting the muscles firing.

    He has been doing this for so long, I am sure he is relaxed.

    I hope Joe got some rest and got up, felt good about himself and is feeling positive.

    He has come this far, the job is done and he has just got to go in and get the gold medal.

    They have two very different styles. Yoka is a good jabber. Joe is one of the strongest heavyweights I have seen and he is going to have to break him down and take his jab down.

    Men's basketball final - USA v Serbia (From 19:45 BST)

    The USA were odds on favourites before the competition began, and sure enough, only Serbia stand in the way of the men from the NBA and gold.

    The stats would suggest they're well set to win a third  straight Olympic title - indeed, they're unbeaten in international competition since 2006. 

    Serbia have secured their first Olympic medal, though they won gold as part of Yugoslavia in 1990, and they have ran America closest in the competition so far, losing by just three points in the group stage.

    Spain beat Australia in the bronze medal match earlier.

    What an atmosphere at the volleyball.

    Hosts Brazil have taken a 2-0 lead in the final, bidding for one last gold at their home games.

    They've won silver at the last two Olympics but they're just one set from 2016 gold.

    No wonder this man is looking pleased in the crowd.

    Well that was unusual.

    First, Uzbekistan’s Ikhtiyor Navruzov secured a bronze in the -65kg freelance wrestling in controversial circumstances, as Mongolia’s Mandakhnaran Ganzorig was reduced from celebration to desolation via a late penalty.

    Then, his support staff got going. First they remonstrated.

    Then they stripped.

    And then they refused to move from the ring.

    Navruzov still took the bronze mind. Flinging one's clothes off in a strop rarely changes the minds of officials.
