Lewis Williams and Delicious Orie win gold for England on the final day of the boxing at the Commonwealth Games.

Lewis Williams and Delicious Orie have earned gold medals for England on the final day of the boxing at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

The host nation went into Sunday's gold-medal matches with five opportunities to finish at the top of the podium, with Williams and Orie the only participants to come through with victory.

Williams concluded the afternoon session with a 5-0 win over Samoa's Ato Leau Plodzicki-Faoagali in the heavyweight division, prevailing 30-27 on each of the scorecards.

Orie had to wait until the final bout of the day to square off against India's Sagar Sagar, but the super-heavyweight also came through with a 5-0 triumph, prevailing 29-28 with all five judges after dropping the opening round.

However, there was disappointment for Demie-Jade Resztan, Kiaran MacDonald and Gemma Paige Richardson who all went down to whitewash defeats.

Resztan lost in the minimumweight final to India's Nitu Nitu, the scores ranging between 30-26 to 29-28, while MacDonald went down in similar fashion to fellow Indian representative Amit.

Later in the day, Richardson was comfortably beaten by Northern Ireland's Amy Sara Broadhurst, who won 30-25 on each of the five scorecards.
