Kurt Walker meets Canada’s Robin Basran in the last 16 of the World Elites at approximately 3.15pm tomorrow in Ekaterinburg, Russia.

DAY 9

Both men are slated to fight in the 2nd bout in the evening session in ring B.

The contest is a repeat of the 2018 Commonwealth Games semi-final which Walker won in Gold Coast, Australia.

Michael Nevin and Aidan Walsh were unlucky to bow out on 3-2 split decisions this afternoon.
