Savannah Marshall has joined England boxing teammate Nicola Adams in winning Commonwealth Games gold after beating Canada's Ariane Fortin tonight.
The audience inside the SECC waited with bated breath as the ring announcer informed of a split decision, before the arena erupted at the news that Marshall had edged the victory after being adjudged to have won 2-1 in rounds.
Consequently, the 23-year-old middleweight becomes the second female boxing champion in Games history, following an historic triumph for Adams earlier today.
Wales's Lauren Price was among the bronze medal winners, joining Edith Ogoke of Nigeria on the podium.
