Team GB boxer Lewis Richardson was edged out of making the men's 71kg Olympic boxing final following defeat to Mexican Marco Verde. Richardson had to settle for bronze after being beaten on split decision by Verde at Roland Garros. The Brit started well landing a solid punch to Verde's face, but the Mexican grew back into the round throwing a series of different combinations and breaking through the British fighter's defence.
However, all five judges saw it differently and awarded the Mexican the round which meant Richardson's dream of reaching the Olympic final was over. Verde will now fight Uzbekistan's Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev for the gold later this week.
