Britain's Lewis Richardson has qualified for the Olympic Games this summer, while Amy Broadhurst misses out.
Britain's Lewis Richardson has qualified for the Olympic Games this summer, although Amy Broadhurst, the lightweight who made headlines when she left the Ireland squad to join the GB team, has been eliminated from the last qualification event. Richardson, GB's light-middleweight, needed to reach the semi-finals of the qualifier in Bangkok to ensure himself an Olympic quota place.
The Colchester man was defeated then but continued his pursuit of an Olympic place in this cycle, only to see his weight class removed from the Games. But he dropped down from 75 to 71kgs, won a highly competitive race for selection within GB and has now secured his spot at Paris 2024. Broadhurst, who holds both British and Irish passports, made the decision to join GB after being snubbed for selection by Irish officials for the final stages of the build-up to Paris.
