Northern Ireland's Steven Donnelly gunning for gold

Northern Ireland boxer Steven Donnelly has said that "bronze is not enough" for him at this summer's Commonwealth Games.

The welterweight secured at least a bronze medal after overcoming Custio Clayton in the quarter-finals of the competition on Wednesday evening. However, Donnelly insists that he "came here for gold".

"I came here for gold. Bronze is not enough for me, no-one remembers bronze. It is gold that people remember you for so I don't want to settle for bronze," he told Sports Mole.

"I settled for bronze before in the Chemistry Cup in Germany and I don't want to do that again. This is the one I want."

Donnelly will face India's Mandeep Jangra in the semi-finals on Friday.
