Sports Mole talks to Team GB boxer Joshua Buatsi following his elimination in the last-32 stage of the 2015 European Games.

Team GB boxer Joshua Buatsi has vowed to continue improving after exiting the 2015 European Games in the round of 32 on Thursday.

Buatsi lost to Azerbaijani Teymur Mammadov, who won bronze at the 2012 Olympics, in front of a highly-charged home support at Crystal Hall.

Despite the defeat, the 22-year-old light heavyweight told Sports Mole that he will take a lot from the 'best experience of his career'.

Commiserations Josh, was it a bit of a nightmare draw for you?

"It was, but I was looking forward to it. I was buzzing in there and I was really up for it. It was a good experience, a very good experience, my best experience so far."

Can you take a lot from the tournament though, despite the defeat?

"Yeah 100%. Like the coaches said, I performed and that is all we were looking for. We were looking for the win, didn't get it, but I performed and I am happy with that."

The Olympics is still a very possible goal, is that the main focus now?

"It is my aim now. I am just going to enjoy the positives from this fight, listen to what the coaches have to say, sit back with myself and just meditate and move on."

How important is your faith?

"Without it, I wouldn't be boxing. I wouldn't be confident, I wouldn't have the willpower or the strength. It all comes down to that, and like it says on my gum-shield John 3:16, I keep it very personal and it is very close to me."
