Akai Nettey has become the second Ghanaian boxer to win his fight at this year’s Commonwealth Games after defeating Fiji’s Elijah Qiokata in a round 16 contest in Glasgow.
Nettey secured a first-round stoppage of the men’s Light Middleweight contest to progress to the quarter-final stage of the competition.
Monday’s victory means Nettey is one win away from a potential podium finish.
Meanwhile, Nettey’s teammate, Ebenezer Ankrah, joined the growing list of casualties after he lost by a 3-2 split decision to Scotland’s Nicholas Delvin.
Two of the judges scored it 29 – 27 in Nettey’s favour, while the remaining three judges scored it 27 – 29 for Delvin.
Both boxers were deducted a point each.
