Irish welterweight Aidan Walsh withdrew from his semifinal round match at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after he injured his ankle while celebrating his victory in the previous round on Friday. After Walsh beat Mauritius’ Merven Clair, he jumped up and down following the decision and he landed awkwardly on his ankle. Walsh’s team announced that he sprained his ankle and the boxer was seen leaving Kokugikan Arena in a wheelchair later on Friday. Walsh’s team confirmed that he will miss the rest of the Olympics because of the ankle injury. McCormack will face the winner of the other welterweight semifinal between Roniel Iglesias of Cuba and the Russian team’s Andrei Zamkovoy.
