Keevin Allicock will take on Sri Lanka’s Jeewantha Nisshanka in the Men’s featherweight Round-of-16 at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. It will be the last bout of a busy day in the ring at the National Exhibition Centre, in Birmingham, England.
Allicock advanced via a unanimous decision win over Kenya’s Okoth Okongo in the Round-of-64, while Nisshanka will make his debut at the games after receiving a first-round bye.
A victory today will put Allicock in the quarter-finals, where he will come up against the winner of the bout between Charlie Senior (Australia) and Keoma-Ali Al-Ahmadieh of Canada.
The 2017 Youth Commonwealth Games Silver Medallist is making his debut at the former British Empire games.
