There was no golden redemption arc for Carly McNaul at the Commonwealth Games, but the Northern Irish fighter pledged through tears that she will come back stronger.

But Indian world champion Nikhat Zareen proved too good for the ‘Wrecking Ball’ in Sunday's light flyweight final, taking a 5-0 unanimous points decision to top the podium.
