Great Britain's Lutalo Muhhamad wins the bronze medal in the men's 80kg category with victory over Serbia's Fejzic Damir.

Great Britain have won their eighth medal of the European Games, thanks to Lutalo Muhammad's bronze in the men's 80kg.

Muhammad suffered a shock defeat in the quarter-finals this morning, but he recovered to beat Serbia's Fejzic Damir in the repechage.

Muhammad prevailed 8-7 on points, despite trailing 2-1 after the second round.

However, he hit back strongly to win the third round 7-5 thanks largely to an offensive head-kick, which scored three points.
