Welsh boxer Ioan Croft claimed gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games to ensure both he and his twin brother Garan return home with medals.
Ioan, 20, won gold in the men's welterweight boxing final for Wales on Sunday, defeating Stephen Zimba from Zambia to earn victory in a unanimous decision. The Crymych product battled his way through and withstood a last-ditch rally from his opponent in the dying moments of the final at the NEC Hall, before winning 5-0.
Ioan's identical twin brother Garan, who won boxing bronze in the light-middleweight division, was the first to congratulate his brother moments after the victory was announced, while their parents Liz and Cardigan ABC head coach Guy Croft watched on from the stands as 12 years of training and hard work came to fruition.
