Team England boxer Qais Ashfaq believes that he "sent out a statement" by beating Scotland's Joe Ham in the quarter-finals of the Commonwealth Games on Wednesday.
Ashfaq is now guaranteed at least a bronze medal in the Bantamweight section, but he has insisted that his eyes are firmly on gold.
"Yeah I sent out a statement. I have boxed him four times now and beat him three times. I feel like I sent out a statement by beating him comfortably in his hometown," he told Sports Mole.
"Coming into the ring I wasn't even thinking about the bronze medal, as long as you keep your head in the game and keep training hard and get the tactics right then I can change the colour of the medal."
Ashfaq's semi-final opponent is Kenyan Benson Gicharu Njangiru.
