Lauren Price reaches Olympic middleweight final after beating Nouchka Fontijn

Price could add to Team GB's gold medal haul on Sunday

Lauren Price delivered a huge last round to win her middleweight boxing semi-final against Dutch rival Nouchka Fontijn and reach the Olympic final.

Price, who controversially beat Fontijn in the 2019 world final after an appeal, looked to be heading for a loss after she was deducted a point in round two for excessive holding.

Despite trailing on four of the five cards heading into the last round, Price turned it around to book her place in Sunday’s final via split decision.
