Josh Kelly eases through welterweight clash at Olympic Games

Great Britain's welterweight Josh Kelly is through to the last 16 of the Olympic Games after a routine win over Walid Mohamed.

Great Britain's Josh Kelly has eased to a points win over Walid Mohamed to reach the last 16 at the Olympic Games.

The welterweight had suffered from a viral infection in the build-up to the event in Rio de Janeiro but he made light work of his Egyptian opponent.

The Sunderland puncher was awarded every round by all three judges as he reached the next stage with minimal fuss.

Kelly will face a much sterner test in the last 16, with Kazakhstan's world number one Daniyar Yelleussinov standing in his way.
