"[I'm] devastated with the outcome," said Cpl Reid.

Richardson may well go on to take that gold medal and was full of praise for Cpl Reid.

She said: "It's such a bittersweet moment, honestly.

"I'm so happy I got the win but me and Meg know each other so well. We've sparred each other loads – we're friends.

"She's such a great boxer and she's had the experience. It's just a shame we didn't meet in the medal stages."
