The World Boxing Championships continue on Friday, 12 September in Liverpool, with Great Britain having already matched their best performance at the event.

More than 40 male and female boxers from Great Britain and Ireland have competed in the tournament so far, which started on Thursday, 4 September.

Four medals have already been confirmed for Great Britain, with more potentially on the way as the quarter-final action concludes on Friday.

It is the first elite-level global championships to be hosted by World Boxing, the new International Federation for Olympic-style boxing.

More than 500 boxers have competed at the event across 10 weight classes, and you can watch the conclusion of the quarter-finals, plus semi-final and final action across BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.

Four English boxers, who are already guaranteed at least a bronze medal, have the chance to upgrade it in the semi-finals.

Hometown boxer Callum Makin competes in the men’s 75kg category on Friday after coming through a tough quarter-final earlier in the week, when he beat Canada’s Joshua Ofori by split decision.

He is not the only fighter from Liverpool guaranteed a medal. Odel Kamara, who is also part of the GB Boxing squad, will be hoping to secure his place in the men’s 70kg final on Saturday when he faces Kazakhstan’s Torekhan Sabyrkhan in the semi-finals.

Fellow GB Boxing squad member Chantelle Reid is also certain of a medal – she faces a women’s 70kg semi-final against Kazakhstan’s Natalia Bogdanova.

England’s Emily Asquith, part of the England Boxing national programme, will also fight for a final spot in the women’s 80kg category against India’s Pooja Rani.

There’s also the chance for Great Britain to surpass their best performance at a World Boxing Championships, with England’s Alice Pumphrey and Teagn Stott still to compete in the quarter-finals.
