Ongare outlasts Jayasinghe to reach GC2018 semis

Kenya’s only medal hope in the boxing ring Christine Ongare reached the semi-final of the Women’s 51kg category after knocking out Sri Lankan Dulani Jayasinghe.

Jayasinghe was well in the lead after claiming two knockdowns but suffered a nasty injury forcing the referee to stop the contest with the match offered to Ongare.

Ongare will thus face Carly McNaul of Northern Ireland in Friday’s semi-final with Australian Taylah Robertson and Lisa Whiteside of England squaring off in the other semi
