Eccles out of women's 66kg boxing after split-decision loss

Great Britain's Rosie Eccles (L) won gold for Wales at the 2022 Commonwealth Games

Great Britain's Rosie Eccles is out of the women's 66kg boxing after a split-decision loss to Poland's Aneta Rygielska in the last 32.

Eccles was on the front foot throughout the three-round welterweight bout but after edging the first on the judges scorecards, the Welshwoman was deemed to be second best to Rygielska in the next two.

The Pole was deducted a point late in the third round for failing to keep her head up but, despite that, both judges that scored the fight even at 28-28 called it in favour of Rygielska.

Only one judge actually had Rygielska ahead on the scores, 29-27, while two gave it to Eccles, 30-26 and 29-27.

GB's Brown suffers defeat

Team GB heavyweight Pat Brown suffered a 4-1 split-decision defeat by Brazil's Keno Machado in the men's 92kg round of 16.

Brown, 24, lost the opening two rounds and despite a strong finish was unable to overcome the two-time Olympian and 2021 World Boxing Championships silver medallist.

Machado, 24, advances to the quarter-finals where he will face Uzbekistan's Lazizbek Mullojonov.

GB's Delicious Orie is the next boxer in action for Team GB when he faces Armenia's Davit Chaloyan on Monday at 20:36 BST in the men's +92kg.
