England’s boxers enjoyed a successful first two sessions of Friday’s semi-finals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, with five of their six fighters reaching Saturday’s finals.
Chantelle Reid and Isaac Okoh both produced disciplined performances in the afternoon session to claim unanimous 5-0 wins against their opponents.
That followed wins for Sacha Hickey, Patris Mughalzai and Dimeji Shittu in the morning session.
Damar Thomas has also secured a place in the 90+kg final, where he will meet compatriot Okoh, after his planned opponent, Northern Ireland’s Willie John McCartan, had to pull out of their semi-final with an elbow injury.
Lauren Mackie is the only English fighter to taste defeat in the semi-finals so far, with another three more – Ruby White, Lucy Kings-Wheatley and Mary Kate Smith – set to compete in the evening session, which is scheduled to begin at 19:00 BST.
