Quigley,from the Finn Valley Club in Donegal, beat the Belarus born boxer 15-5 and will now meet Anar Jafarov from Azerbaijan in Tuesdays 63Kg quarter final.

Jafarov also recorded a convincing last 16 win today, beating Skakun Sergey from Kazakhstan 22-5.

If Quigley can advance from Tuesdays decider then he will be guaranteed at least bronze which will be Irelands first ever medal at World Cadet Championships level.
