Ireland's Kelyn Cassidy is through to the quarter-finals of the World Championships after a convincing victory over Tajikistan’s Shabbas Negmatulloev in Belgrade.
The Waterford light heavyweight, who is making his Elite International debut at this tournament, again impressed with his agility and footwork, claiming a convincing win over his Olympian opponent.
Edged out 3-2 in the opening round, Cassidy was able to adapt and gained the measure of his opponent quickly to win rounds 2 and 3 on a 4-1 verdict.
Cassidy will discover his quarter-final opponent on Wednesday and will fight for a bronze medal in that bout.
