Han Soonchul into the last 16

South Korea's Han Soonchul has defeated Egypt's Mohamed Eliwa 11-6 in the evening's final lightweight bout.

Both fighters started tentatively, with Han landing the best shot of the opening round in the form of a stright right.

Eliwa set about reversing the 3-2 score from the opening bell of the second round, but was kept at range by the Korean's jab.

Han once again got the better of the Egyptian in the closing stages of the round with another right hand while boxing off the back foot.

Three points was the difference as the combatants entered the final three minutes, but Eliwa could not alter the flow of the contest.
