The 21-year-old overcame Ireland's Adam Nolan to clinch his place in the last four of the event in Baku, despite suffering a cut to the head in the bout.

Kelly lost the first round, but battled back in the second and third rounds to be awarded the fight on a split decision, with just one point separating the two fighters.

Kelly will now face Azerbaijan's Parviz Baghirov in the last four to earn a chance to compete for the gold medal.
