Northern Ireland boxer Michael Conlan: 'I'll throw away silver or bronze'

Northern Ireland boxer Michael Conlan has said that he will throw away any medal that he wins at the Commonwealth Games unless it is gold.

The 22-year-old bantamweight unanimously beat Mathew Martin of Nauru and remains favourite to leave Glasgow as a Commonwealth champion.

"Gold is the only one I want - I don't want silver and I don't want bronze and I will throw them away if I do get them," he told the Irish Independent following the win.

The Northern Irish have one medal at the Games thus far following Lisa Kearney's bronze in the judo.
