James Degale has stormed into Sunday's final of the middleweight boxing in Beijing following a superb display against Irishman Darren Sutherland.

Degale was in control throughout the contest as he moved into the gold medal decider with a 10-3 victory.

Despite losing four of his previous five fights against Sutherland, Degale was in positive mood and caught the Irishman with a number of superb uppercuts while boxing on the back foot.

Sutherland did rock Degale with a final-round attempt, but the Notting Dale fighter's fluid and quick-foot tactics brought him home.
