Fauldhouse boxer Reese Lynch has guaranteed himself a Commonwealth Games medal after defeating reigning champion Jonas Junias Jonas of Namibia in this afternoon’s quarter-final.
The 21-year-old, who last year became the first Scot to bag a medal at the World Championships, was in control of the full contest - earning a unanimous 30-26 from all five judges.
Clinching his place in the semi-final guarantees him at least a bronze medal but he will be eyeing a place in the final when he takes on Canada’s Wyatt Sandford in Saturday’s bout.
