"Team Wales will leave Glasgow without a Commonwealth Games boxing gold medal after heavyweight Connor Williams had to settle for silver. The Swansea fighter was defeated by England's Isaac Okoh in the 90kg category final by a unanimous decision just after Orlando Holley-Sotomi lost his gold medal bout. Williams has made a rapid rise since joining Welsh boxing's elite programme last year and silver might well have exceeded his expectations.
