McComb: 'I want to win boxing gold'

Irish lightweight boxer Sean McComb has said that he will have failed if he does not win gold at the European Games in Baku.

McComb defeated Belarus's Tymur Beliak on a unanimous points decision this morning, and will fight against Italian Donato Cosenza on Saturday.

"I want to win a gold medal. I'll be disappointed with anything else, that's all I'm focused on," McComb told reporters.

"It's a very tough competition, all the best boxers in Europe are here, including myself."

Team GB's Luke McCormack could fight McComb in the semi-final, after he defeated Greece's Panagiotis Matsagkos earlier today.
