Kent’s Cheavon Clarke is one of 10 British boxers heading to the Olympic Games after a split decision win in the quarterfinals of the European Road to Tokyo.

Chev ‘C4’ Clarke beat Greece's Vagkan Nanitzanian in the heavy weight category (81-91kgs) cementing his place on Team GB.

The win has capped an unbelievable story which saw the Gravesend 29-year-old almost quit the sport following the 2014 Commonwealths to become a lorry driver.

The semi-finals take place on Monday, with all boxers now competing to determine their seedings at the Games, which are scheduled to be held from 23 July to 8 August 2021.
