I can predict that GB will win 4 medals in the boxing:
- Ben Whittaker should bag a bronze, he won a silver at the World Championships in 2019, I think he loses in the semis to the Kazakh who is ranked 1st.
- Pat McCormack will win gold, he's ranked number 1, anything less than a bronze will be a complete shock.
- Lauren Price is favourite for gold and Caroline Dubois is inexperienced but I think she'll bag a bronze.
Only other fighter I can see winning a medal is Frazer Clarke, it depends if he beats the Frenchman in the Quarters then he gets the bronze but will probably lose to Jalolov the Uzbek.
To add to this post, I’d advise everyone to watch Oleksandr Khyzhniak, he’ll be competing at middleweight and is the number 1 pound for pound amateur boxer. He knocked out the Brit Lewis Richardson in the Qualifiers at Paris.
In the round of 16 of the Light Welterweights we should see Sofianr Oumiha against Keyshawn Davis. Oumiha signed to Queensberry Promotions for when he turns over, whereas Davis has already had 3 professional fights. I see Andy Crus winning gold there though.
