Boxer Josh Taylor revealed how some fractious sparring sessions with Brazilian Robson Conceicao in Sheffield earlier this month prepared him to see off the same man in the opening round of the lightweight division at ExCeL.
The Lochend 21-year-old extended Great Britain's winning start to the Olympic boxing programme with a thoroughly composed 13-9 win over Conceicao, who was part of the Brazilian squad invited to a training camp with the British Olympians.
