Joshua Buatsi felt he did enough

Team GB boxer Joshua Buatsi has said that he believes he "controlled the fight" against Teymur Mammadov in their last-32 clash at the 2015 European Games on Thursday.

Buatsi impressed during the outing in Baku, but home favourite Mammadov was handed the victory in front of a vocal Azerbaijani support.

The 22-year-old Brit also admitted that Mammadov's size was a problem, with the bronze medallist at the 2012 Olympics standing at 6'5".

"He was massive at the weight, but I felt that I controlled the fight and hit him with the more meaningful shots. It was competitive, but I felt that I nicked it," Buatsi told reporters.

Buatsi is one of the newer members of Team GB's podium squad.
