Great Britain’s Rosie Eccles is out of the women’s 66kg boxing after a split-decision loss to Poland’s Aneta Rygielska in the last 32.

Eccles was on the front foot throughout the three-round welterweight bout but after edging the first on the judges scorecards, the Welshwoman was deemed to be second best to Rygielska in the next two.

The Pole was deducted a point late in the third round for failing to keep her head up but, despite that, both judges that scored the fight even at 28-28 called it in favour of Rygielska.

Only one judge actually had Rygielska ahead on the scores, 29-27, while two gave it to Eccles, 30-26 and 29-27.
