Team GB's Lawrence Okolie outclassed by Erislandy Savon

Great Britain's Lawrence Okolie has been outclassed by Erislandy Savon in the preliminary round of the heavyweight division at the Rio Olympics.

Many of Team GB's fighters faced testing bouts on Monday and a disappointing day continued as Okolie hit the canvas in the first round after being caught by a right hand.

He got to his feet and finished the round but it was one-way traffic in the second as Savon closed in on what was turning out to be a routine win.

Okolie needed a stoppage but he posed little problem to the classy Cuban puncher as his Olympic Games came to an early end.
