Russia's Alexey Tishchenko became the first boxer in 30 years to win Olympic gold in two different weight divisions with victory over France's Daouda Sow. The 24-year-old was hot favourite to win his lightweight bout but his taller opponent kept the contest close. The Athens featherweight champion won the first two rounds before Sow fought back to take the third.

He took a 10-8 lead into the last round which was cut by Dow before the Russian scored again to secure the gold medal.
