It is not yet known whether it will be gold, silver or bronze. But Enmanuel Reyes Plá has already secured a medal in boxing, in the -92 kg category. Spain had not won a medal in boxing for 24 years, since the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000.
‘The Prophet’ defeated Belgian Victor Schelstraete by unanimous decision. It was in the quarter-finals. And he will hang the metal no matter what happens next Sunday.
Emmanuel Reyes’ path to gold
By making it to the semi-finals, Reyes is guaranteed a medal. At least a bronze medal. But he will also be able to compete for gold if he wins the semi-finals and makes it to the final.
Thursday was a brilliant day for Spanish sport in Paris. In the race walk, Álvaro Martín (bronze) and María Pérez (silver) shone. And now Enmanuel is assured of a new medal. He will fight in his semi-finals on Sunday to compete in the grand final of the Paris Games.
