Ghana’s Amadu Mohammed has secured a quarter final ticket in the men’s Bantamweight – 55kg event at the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Amadu Mohammed qualified after a first round stoppage win over Kiribati’s Eriu Temakau. The referee stopped was forced to stop the contest after just 57secs, when Mohammed floored Temakau with a powerful right hook.

Sunday’s victory means Amadu Mohammed could secure a podium finish if he wins his fight on Tuesday, 28th July.
