Filipino boxer Eumir Marcial stopped another opponent in the first round as he won by knockout in the quarterfinals of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics boxing tournament.

He is now assured of at least a bronze medal, but will be looking to advance to the gold medal match with a victory in the semis.

It was the second straight bout that Marcial had finished early, winning his Round of 16 bout by referee stoppage.
