RIO DE JANEIRO - British light heavyweight Joshua Buatsi clocked the first knock-out of the Rio Olympics boxing after pulverising his outclassed Ugandan opponent on Sunday. It left his opponent slumped in his corner on a stall after the one-sided bout, rubbing the back of his head. Buatsi capped an imperious performance when the referee stopped the fight in the third and final round to save Katende from more punishment and Buatsi won by technical knock-out.
