On a hectic day of boxing semi-finals, across genders, weight divisions and styles, Great Britain’s Commonwealth Games boxers were united by one common quality: winning. In total, 17 boxers from the home nations reached the gold medal rounds of the competition, only further underlining the might of British amateur boxing.
Those victorious in the National Exhibition Centre included Sunderland’s Kiaran MacDonald, who demonstrated that being knocked down can simply be an opportunity for an even greater rise.
