Great Britain's Joshua Buatsi has admitted that he is content with achieving a bronze medal at the Olympic Games.
Buatsi has been the standout performer for the boxing team at Rio de Janeiro but after reaching the semi-finals, he lost out to Kazakhstan's Adilbek Niyazymbetov who prevailed 29-28 on all three scorecards.
Despite the defeat, however, Buatsi has said that he was pleased to have picked up a medal after not being expected to feature on the podium.
The 23-year-old told BBC Sport: "I'm disappointed but a bronze medal surpasses all expectations.
"Once I got here and I was winning, I was aiming for gold and nothing else, but coming out no-one expected a medal. I did the hard work and I gave it my best shot."
Nicola Adams and Joe Joyce have also guaranteed themselves at least a bronze medal at the Games in Brazil.
