British light-heavyweight Joshua Buatsi guarantees an Olympic medal with a win over fourth seed Abdelhafid Benchabla in the quarter-finals.

Great Britain's Joshua Buatsi has guaranteed himself at least a bronze medal with another impressive performance at the Olympic Games.

The light-heavyweight was taken three rounds for the first time in the tournament but he dominated from start to finish against world number four Abdelhafid Benchabla.

Buatsi is ranked 14 places below the Algerian in the world rankings, but his heavy hitting was on show from the first bell and his opponent was forced to take a standing eight-count in the first round.

It was the same scenario in the second as Benchabla struggled with the pace set by Buatsi, and although the British fighter could not end the contest within the distance, he never looked in danger towards the end of the bout.

All three officials scored the fight 30-26 in Buatsi's favour.
