In one of the rare portions of a boxing bracket in which the seeds are winning, British boxer Lauren Price and Dutch boxer Nouchka Fontijn won quarterfinal bouts by unanimous decision Saturday to clinch medals and set up a middleweight semifinal matchup between the two.
Price, the 2019 world champion, had four 30-26 scores and one 29-27 after Panamian fighter Atheyna Bylon was deducted a point. Fontijn dropped the first round to Canada's Tammara Thibeault on four of five judges' scorecards but swept the scores in the last two.
The stunner of the early session Saturday was U.S. lightweight Keyshawn Davis' stoppage win over top seed Sofiane Oumiha of France in the Round of 16.
