Great Britain's Joshua Buatsi thundered his way into the quarter-finals of the Rio Olympics with a brutal knock-out to enhance his rapidly growing reputation.

It was the 23-year-old Briton's second KO in two fights as he destroyed the Uzbek Elshod Rasulov in their light-heavyweight showdown.

Buatsi put the experienced Rasulov, 30, down three times in the third and final round when the referee intervened to put a stop to the punishment.
