Great Britain have endured further disappointment in the men's boxing event at the European Games after Luke McCormack joined teammate Muhammad Ali in crashing out at the last-16 stage.
Shortly after Ali's loss at the hands of experienced Italian boxer Vincenzo Picardi, McCormack went the same way by suffering a resounding defeat to Sofiane Oumiha.
In the build-up to the bout, the 20-year-old was confident that he could overcome his French lightweight opponent, but it was not to be as he was outscored 10-9 in each round at Crystal Hall to exit the competition.
Oumiha will now tackle Hungary's Miklos Varga for a place in the semi-finals in Azerbaijan's capital.
Team GB still have one more hopeful in the men's category, with Joe Joyce facing the Republic of Moldova's Alexei Zavatin later today.
