Nevin’s first up
John Joe Nevin goes head to head with Oscar Valdez in a bantamweight quarter-final this evening at the Excel Centre.
The Mexican qualified for the last Games at the age of 17 and became the first boxer from his country to take a medal at the world championships, taking a bronze in 2009.
Nevin has looked comfortable in these games so far but will have to be in top form to make the semi-finals.
