Great Britain’s Joe Joyce defeated two-time world champion Magomedrasul Majidov, to claim a super-heavyweight gold medal at the European qualifying tournament in Turkey, whilst becoming the 9th member of the GB squad to book his place at the Rio Olympics this summer.
Joyce, 30, from London, came through a hard battle with the experienced Azerbaijan, but won a split decision on the judges cards, to secure his ticket to Brazil, and he celebrated with great spirit with a backflip in the ring!
