Great Britain's Josh Buatsi is guaranteed at least a bronze in the men's light-heavyweight boxing after a dominant display against Abdelhafid Benchabla in the quarter-finals of the Rio Olympics.
Buatsi claimed a comfortable points victory against his Algerian opponent - who received two standing counts during the contest - after every judge had Buatsi ahead against a boxer ranked fourth in the world.
The 23-year-old will now take on Kazakhstan's Adilbek Niyazymbetov on Tuesday for a place in the final on Thursday.
"I don't go looking for the knockout, I just want to dominate in every way that I can," said Buatsi.
"You can give and take, entertain a little bit and we go back to the boxing. I'm glad to have put on a bit of a show and secure bronze at least."
Buatsi's team-mate Pat McCormack is out of the Games, however, after a comprehensive loss to the impressive Cuban Yasnier Toledo.
The first round was a close one with neither fighter risking any mistakes but Toledo took it with some good combinations.
Toledo began to find his right-jab range as the contest wore on and the Cuban won rounds two and three to wrap up the victory.
"I got a terrible draw, the Kazakh [Ablaikhan Zhussupov] first and then the Cuban," said McCormack. "I started too slow, I should have put it on him from the first bell.
"I think he's the best in the world ... I know I'm mixing with the best and I will be one of the best in a couple of years when I've got a bit more experience."
