Preview: Freddie Evans vs. Egidijus Kavaliauskas

Freddie Evans vs. Egidijus Kavaliauskas

Great British welterweight Freddie Evans returns to the ring for his last-16 clash against Lithuania's Egidijus Kavaliauskas.

The Welshman had his hands full against tough Algerian Ilyas Abbadi in his first-round encounter, but came up trumps in an 18-10 victory on Sunday.

Fourth-seed Kavaliauskas had no such problems, as he received a bye.

The Lithuanian stopped Evans in the quarter-final of their World Amateur Championships bout in Baku last year and should prove to be a tough opponent for the 21-year-old.

Sports Mole's prediction: Kavaliauskas to break British hearts.
