Olympics coach restrained by own boxer after shoving team member in furious end to final

Buse Naz Cakiroglu and Wu Yu's Olympic gold medal bout ended in chaos after the former's coach had to be held back by the boxer herself.

The pair had been battling for top spot on the podium in the women's 50kg classification, with Chinese boxer Wu Yu cruising to a victory.

Wu Yu won the gold medal match 4:1, having progressed to the final by virtue of three comfortable victories in the earlier rounds.

In truth, the gold medal was never in doubt, even during her final bout with Turkey's Cakiroglu.

But that didn't stop the Turkish coach from losing his head following the referee's decision, with the trainer having to be restrained by his fellow coaches.

Having sensed the visible frustration from her coach, Cakiroglu headed over to the scene in an attempt to defuse the situation.

Much like the other members of her coaching team, who the trainer pushed back at, the silver medalist didn't have much luck, with the member of the Turkish delegate continuing his protests.

It's unknown whether the protestations were aimed at the referee, but given the dominance Wu Yu showed throughout the fight, it would appear to have been misplaced.

It's been on Olympics marred by controversy in the boxing ring, with the gender row surrounding Imane Khelif having continued onto the Games' second week.

Her first-round opponent, Angela Carini, withdrew from the fight after less than a minute after complaining she'd never been punched as hard in her life.

Khelif is said to possess higher testosterone levels than the average woman and was disqualified from last year's world championship by the International Boxing Association after failing a gender test.

However, the International Olympic Committee distanced themselves from the IBA last year and allowed Khelif to fight at the Games.

it was a decision that proved to be impactful, given the opinion-splitting Algerian progressed into the gold medal bout.

Khelif will take on Chinese fighter Yang Liu in the French capital tonight - a fight likely to command attention from across the sporting and non-sporting world.

Elsewhere in the ring, Lewis Richardson salvaged a disappointing Olympics for Team GB by picking up a bronze medal.

The 27-year-old was beaten by Marco Verde at the semi-final stage, with the Mexican winning via a split decision in the 71kg category.
