Damar Thomas: Britain’s next heavyweight hope is gunning for gold at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games

Britain’s heavyweight boxing scene in thriving. In Daniel Dubois, Moses Itauma, Fabio Wardley and of course Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, the UK has a host of world class fighters in the professional ranks.

London's Damar Thomas is looking to carry the torch through the amateur sport. Still just 21 years old, a six foot six southpaw super-heavyweight, he could mark himself out as a genuine Olympic contender if he wins some more international silverware.

On Wednesday Thomas will have his first bout in the Commonwealth Games boxing tournament as he targets the most high profile medal of his career.
