BANGKOK — Canadian boxer Terris Smith defeated Bulgaria's Aslahan Mehmedova 3-0 on points in their round-of-16 bout Monday to advance at a last-ditch Olympic qualifying tournament.
On Tuesday, Petanqui faces Armenia's Gurgen Madoyan and Scarlett Delgado, a 28-year-old from Brampton, Ont., meets Kenya's Amina Faki in round-of-16 action in the women's 54-kilogram class. Nine Canadians entered the Bangkok tournament trying to fight their way into this summer's Olympic field Middleweight Tammara Thibeault and welterweight Wyatt Sanford secured their Olympic berths via gold-medal performances at year's Pan American Games. Both were members of Canada's five-boxer team for the Tokyo Olympics.
Just making the Olympic field is an accomplishment, given the sport's popularity around the world and the fact each country can have no more than one competitor in a weight class. More than 75 countries took part in boxing at the Tokyo Games. There will be no title bouts at the Bangkok event, with action in each weight class coming to a halt when the final Olympic berths are determined.
