Rio Olympics 2016: Shakhobidin Zoirov beats Mikhail Aloyan to win flyweight gold

Shakhobidin Zoirov won Olympic gold for Uzbekistan as he defeated Russia's Mikhail Aloyan to win the men's flyweight boxing competition in Rio.

The 23-year-old took gold with a unanimous points victory, with one judge giving him the win by 30-27 and the other two judges scoring it 29-28.

For Aloyan, a two-time world amateur champion, the silver was an upgrade on the bronze he won at London 2012.

Zoirov's gold medal was Uzbekistan's third of the Games.

And Fazliddin Gaibnazarov added a fourth shortly afterwards when he beat Azerbaijan's Lorenzo Sotomayor on a 2-1 split decision to win light-welterweight gold.
