Elsewhere, defeats on finals day meant a still very impressive silver medal for Army boxers Lewis Bird, Charlotte Tasker and Kai Gales.

Earlier in the competition, four more British Army boxers were beaten at the semi-final stage meaning they all won a bronze medal.

It was another impressive weekend for the British Army team but can they take that momentum into a big Forces Fight Night against Bahrain?
