Aidan Walsh has withdrawn from the semi-final of the men’s welterweight competition at the Olympic Games due to the ankle injury sustained in his previous bout.
The Belfast boxer was due to fight in Sunday’s semi-final against Pat McCormack of Great Britain but due to an ankle injury, the decision has been made in conjunction with his medical team.
Walsh had initially hoped to compete and waited to give himself every opportunity to do so. However subsequent scans and medical reviews have now ruled out this possibility.
