Great Britain lightweight Josh Taylor defeats Brazil's Robson Conceicao to book his place in the last 16 of the Olympic lightweight class.

Great Britain lightweight Josh Taylor has dumped Brazil's Robson Conceicao out of the Olympic lightweight boxing tournament courtesy of a four-point victory.

Both men looked sharp in the opening exchanges, but it was Conceicao who produced the marginally better work, penetrating Taylor's defence with a straight right hand.

Taylor took a one-point advantage into the second round, but the Brazilian stepped up a gear early in the second as he tried to blast Taylor out.

However, the Brit defended well and then answered with a couple of decent shots of his own, including a nice right hook as the second round came to a close.

Conceicao had been a constant threat throughout the bout, but trailed by three points going into the decider.

The danger signs were present for Taylor as Conceicao found the target with a nice uppercut that rocked the Brit's head back.

Taylor stayed alert until the end and absorbed all that Conceicao had to see out the victory, increasing his lead to 13-9.
