- Published
Heavyweight Connor Williams became the fourth Welsh boxer to reach the Commonwealth Games quarter-finals after stopping Namibia's Petrus Jacobus Kotze.
Williams, from Swansea, forced his opponent to have two standing counts in the first round and repeated the feat in the second before the referee stopped the fight.
The 23-year-old will now fight Duken Holo Tutakitoa-Williams of Niue on Tuesday afternoon, knowing he is one fight away from a medal.
Williams joins defending champion Rosie Eccles, Niamh Brookes and Helen Jones in the quarter-finals, while Orlando Holley-Sotomi, Owain Harris-Allan and Daniel Pitt are in last 16 action on Monday.
