Northern Ireland boxer Paddy Barnes believes that teammate Michaela Walsh will beat Team England's Nicola Adams if the pair meet at the Commonwealth Games.
Walsh has impressed in her two flyweight bouts this summer, beating Thessa Dumas and then Sarah Joy Rae on her way to the semi-finals.
Adams, meanwhile, who is the clear favourite for the gold medal, has overcome Oluwatoyin Oladeji and Erandi de Silva at the Games.
Walsh and Adams would meet in the final of the competition on Saturday if the pair come through their respective semi-finals and Barnes has tipped his teammate to emerge victorious.
"What you saw from Michaela the other day is only a fraction of what she can do in the gym. Sparring me and she gives me problems. You can hear it from me first, Michaela will beat Nicola Adams," he told reporters.
Barnes himself is also in the semi-finals of the competition this summer.
