Sean McGoldrick eager to begin Commonwealth Games title defence

Team Wales's Sean McGoldrick has revealed that he is relishing getting the defence of his Commonwealth Games title underway.

The 22-year-old initially won the silver medal in the Delhi Games four years ago, but was then awarded the gold after Sri Lanka's Manju Wanniarachchi failed a drugs test.

McGoldrick is now looking forward to getting his campaign in Glasgow underway after finding out that he will take on Australia's Jackson Woods in his first-round clash in the men's bantam 56kg.

He told reporters: "Once the draw is done it means we get down to business. It's easy to get distracted looking at the different opponents, I take it one bout at a time so I will be concentrating all my energy on preparing to face Jackson Woods who is a good experienced Australian fighter."

McGoldrick faces Woods on Monday.
