Light-middleweight Lewis Richardson secured at least a bronze medal for Team GB at the Paris Olympics by beating Zeyad Eashash to reach the semi-finals.
The southpaw, 25, dropped to his knees after securing a split decision victory over his Jordanian opponent.
After a scrappy, hectic bout, Richardson was given the win by three of the judges with two awarding the fight to Eashash.
Richardson will fight Mexican seed Marco Verde in the semi-finals on Tuesday, when the boxing moves from the North Paris Arena to the tennis courts of Roland Garros.
If he wins he will progress to the gold-medal match but if he loses he will return with bronze.
Richardson was the last Briton standing in the boxing and had he lost the team would have left an Olympics without a medal for the first time since 1996.
