Great Britains Olympic light heavyweight hopeful Joshua Buatsi secures himself a place in the Rio quarter finals after his second knockout win in a row.. Buatsi got off to a flying start with his third round stoppage of Sweden's Kennedy Katende in his opener, tonight Joshua faced a sterner opponent on the form of 30 year old world ranked Elshod Rasulov of Uzbekistan. Buatsi boxed impressively, dominating the first two rounds before dropping the demoralised Rasulov with a right hand in the third, the Uzbek fighter climbed gamely off the floor but fell again whilst attempting to hold Buatsi, moments later a left, right, left combination knocked Rashulov down again, this time for good..
Buatsi will box Algeria's Abdelhafid Benchabla in the 81kgs quarter-final on Sunday
