Team GB's Joe Joyce races to victory to reach quarter-finals in Baku

Team GB's Joe Joyce beats the Republic of Moldova's Alexei Zavatin in the first round of their last-16 clash at the European Games.

Team GB's Joe Joyce put in a blistering performance to beat the Republic of Moldova's Alexei Zavatin in the first round of their last-16 clash in Baku.

Joyce knocked down Zavatin three times in their super-heavyweight bout to win by technical knockout after just two minutes and 58 seconds.

The Briton will now face Lithuania's Mantas Valavicius on Monday for a place in the semi-finals.

It was an encouraging end to a tough day for Team GB's boxers, after Luke McCormack and Muhammad Ali both exited at the last-16 stage.
