Blackpool youngster Cardle reach the World championship light welterweight quarter finals with an 11-3 win over Frenchman Alexis Vastine. He currently faces Cuba's Iglesias Sotolongo in the preceding eight on Wednesday with a assurance of a medal if he win. Birmingham flyweight Khalid Yafai will also clash for a medal next to Germany's Ronny Beblik after a 14-5 triumph over Kazakh Olzhas Sattibayev. Scottish boxer Steve Simmons attached Evans after he lost 11-1 to Ukraine's European champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Ireland boxer Declan Gerraghty and neighbor, Darren O'Neill, also suffer defeats in Milan. Cardle exposed afterwards that rival at the Worlds was the previous thing on his mind a month ago. The 19-year-old tapered swine flu on a training holiday in Spain and went into loneliness for a week on his return to Britain.

He said that I feel like I was dying, after thrashing the Beijing bronze medallist. I was protected away with a Tamiflu instruction and I lost four kilos. But the practice made it much easy for me to make the weight for Milan when I got back in preparation.If anybody had told me when I was in bed that I'd go to the Worlds let by yourself fight for a medal I'd have had a good laugh. But I've gone out there with not anything to lose and it's actually paid off. Meanwhile, Yafai is sure about his probability in his division. I felt great in there today but I've got so much more to give," said the Birmingham boxer.
