Marshall has already qualified for the Olympics in Rio but will now be looking to go for gold tomorrow – providing she can get beyond her rival from the Netherlands in this afternoon’s middleweight semi.

The Headland ABC star has lost her last three contests with the number two seed, but another pertinent stat is that Savannah has yet to drop a round in Kazakhstan.
