Great Britains superheavyweigt representative Joe Joyce made a sensational debut appearance at his first Olympics with a one round stoppage of Cape Verde's Davilson Morais, tonight.. Joyce came out wild from the start, trying too hard to stamp his authority on his first appearance of the tournament.. Midway into the round however Joyce landed the cleaner shots in a close exchange causing the referee to allow Morais' corner take a look at a possible eye injury, with a minute left in the round Joyce caught Morais once again with a hurtful right hand that forced a standing count, the game African walked straight back into a Joyce onslaught, Joe over eagerly smothering his own shots but finally finding an overhand right to drop Morais, closing the show with seconds left in the round..
Joyce will now face Bakhodir Jalolov of Uzbekistan in the final 8..
