Lauren Price's dominant win over Atheyna Bylon secured another medal for Team GB boxers and Galal Yafai reaches quarter-finals in Tokyo

Lauren Price secured another medal for Team GB’s boxers after a dominant victory over Atheyna Bylon booked her place in the semi-finals in Toyko.

Price justified her reputation as the No 1 seed as she outclassed her Panamanian opponent, sealing a 5-0 victory on the scorecards to earn at least a bronze medal.

The 27-year-old, who is the world amateur champion and Commonwealth Games gold medallist, will next face Holland’s Nouchka Fontijn in the last four of the middleweight tournament.

Galal Yafai’s progression to the quarter-finals was less comfortable as he edged out Patrick Chinyemba on a 3-2 split decision.

With the bout finely balanced, Yafai gained the recognition of the judges with his sharp counters in the third round.
