There will be seven Team England boxers fighting for gold medals on Saturday as three had to settle for hard-fought bronzes.

Ruby White, Isaac Okoh, Chantelle Reid, Sacha Hickey, Patris Maghalzai and Dimeji Shittu all progressed to their respective finals with wins.

However, Mary Kate Smith, Lucy Kings-Wheatley and Lauren Mackie were unable to upgrade their bronze medals. 

Bantamweight Mackie will be leaving Glasgow with her held high, despite being beaten 4-1 on points by Canada’s Scarlett Savannah Delgado in Friday’s semi-final.

The 20-year-old from Northamptonshire felt her performance was below her best but still took pride in coming away with a medal on her Commonwealth Games debut.

“I left it too late in the rounds to pick up those judges’ points, but it's been a good tournament overall,” Mackie said.

“I've had four fights and each one it's added to that experience I need for the long journey ahead.

“The Commonwealth Games is a great tournament to be a part of and to have a medal to take home with me is great. It's just pick up these medals and keep going.”

Teammates Hickey, Mughalzai and Shittu all progressed from the morning session.

Hickey and Shittu scored 5-0 wins over Australians Eve Elizabeth Bryson and Paul Trainor respectively, while Mughalzai saw off Zambia’s Emmanuel Katema 4-1.

“I've had tough, game kids coming at me and they were all quite similar. They were all strong, and all wanted to get in there and take me out,” Mughalzai, who faces Australia’s Jacob Cassar in the men’s welterweight 65kg final, said.

“I'm in my rhythm, tomorrow will be my fifth fight, and I'm ready to put on a show in the finals. God willing, tomorrow it will be five out of five.”

Hickey takes on Northern Ireland’s Kaci Rock in the women’s welterweight 65kg decider and Shittu goes for gold in the men’s light-heavyweight 80kg final against Ankush Ankush of India.

“I feel amazing. I've been working really hard with the coaches and my club coach back in my gym,” Shittu said.

“When I'm enjoying it, loving it and feeling the vibe, that's what brings out the best in me. I showed my class, showed my skill, and I'm so excited.”

Reid got the ball rolling for Team England in the afternoon session as she beat Australia’s Lekeisha Pergoliti 5-0 in the women’s light-middleweight 70kg final.

She now has her sights on taking gold back home to Derby with her family cheering her on.

“My family are all here. They don’t get to see me live and in action that often so I'm blessed that they’re here,” Reid said.

“I’ve had loads of nice messages, so hopefully I can bring that gold medal back home.”

Okoh will also face Wales’ Connor Williams in the men’s heavyweight 90kg final after he overcame the host nation’s Robert McNulty 5-0.

“Great to get the win and go through to the final tomorrow - we go for gold. That’s what we came here for in the first place. Hopefully another victory like that and I’ll be coming home with a gold medal," Okoh said.

"Coming to the Games is massive in itself. The atmosphere has been brilliant whether it’s for or against me, so it was amazing."

White picked up the final win of the day in her women's flyweight 51kg semi-final and attributed her victory to her desire to win. 

"There’s no secret to my success, I just want it more than anyone," she said.  

"I put the hours in in the gym and I know when I get in that ring I know I’m willing to do whatever it takes to win. A gold medal would mean so much to me. It would start off my senior career and it would do amazing things for me as an athlete.”

She faces India's Sakshi Sakshi tomorrow afternoon. 

However, Kings-Wheatley and Smith both saw their journeys end in Friday's evening session. 

Kings-Wheatley, 23, lost 5-0 on points to Indian Priya Priya and while she was gutted, appreciated the experience she would gain from defeat. 

Smith, 22, was more positive following her 3-2 defeat to Emma-Sue Greentree of Australia. 

"I’ve got very positive reflections on it," she said. 

"It was as close as it could be. I'll take my licks and I'll come back. There’s more things I need to refine and the hours I put in the gym will mean I come back the finished article. I’m only 22 and I’m only just getting started."

Meanwhile, Damar Thomas is into the men’s super-heavyweight +90kg final after being given a walkover by his scheduled semi-final opponent.
