Northern Ireland's Michael Conlan has beaten Qais Ashfaq of England to clinch the bantamweight gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.
Both fighters were wary of making a mistake in the first round, but that didn't have an impact on the pace of the fight as Ashfaq enjoyed the better of some quick exchanges of punches to land a few clean blows to take the opener.
Conlan was forced onto the front foot in the next three minutes, and he experienced some joy with a series of body shots to concern his opponent, who was happy to adopt a counter-attacking approach.
A closer second round was awarded to the Northern Irishman, and he continued his momentum in the decider as Ashfaq was caught with a number of powerful punches in the closing stages.
Conlan's impressive finish to the bout was the deciding factor, with the judges confirming a unanimous points victory for the 22-year-old.
