    How has he got a minimum bronze if he is only in the semi's? If he loses his semi won't he be in the bronze medal match, where if he loses he gets nowt? I haven't really been following the boxing at the olympics so not sure how it works.

    In boxing (and I think only in boxing), both losing semi finalists get bronze. Think it's always been like this or at least for years anyway.

    Thanks both. Now you mention it I seem to remember having the same realisation moment at the last Olympics. They should really have to fight for it though.

    As I understand it it's because if someone gets knocked out they're not allowed to fight again within a certain period of time so to ensure that both losing semi-finalists get fair treatment they simply don't make any losing boxers fight again.

    If somebody gets knocked out they can't fight for a minimum period of time.
