RIO DE JANEIRO - With a sweep of his feet, super heavyweight boxer Joe Joyce tried to charm the locals as he closed in on Olympic gold.The British fighter - and one-time cheerleader -- usually celebrates with a backflip but he wanted to acknowledge the Brazilian culture and his end-of-fight Ginga move, a fundamental feature of capoeira, the Afro-Brazilian martial art, showed how much thought he had put into his Games adventure.Joyce had just beaten Uzbekistans Bakhodir Jalolov by a unanimous decision, winning all three rounds and securing a guaranteed bronze medal in the process.The 30-year-old has his sights firmly set on gold, though, as the late starter seeks to follow in the path of former sparring partner Anthony Joshua and make it big as a professional after the Games.I have got the full set of medals now, said Joyce, who is Commonwealth and European champion, and took bronze at last years world championships. Its just about turning that to gold now.People look to the gold medallist, its the highest thing you can achieve in open boxing.Joyce is not an average boxer; he has a fine art degree and has led a colourful life. Joshua calls him a beast but his post-fight dance showed how much more there is to him.Its a cultural celebration, capoeira, and in Rio its good to broadcast another of my talents, he said. I added the Ginga to make sure everyone knew what it was.What if he won gold - would the backflip return? Yes. Save the best fireworks for the end.Joyce was the leading male fighter among Britains 12-strong squad when it was named and his two wins will have buoyed the camp after a tricky start to the competition.His quarterfinal victory meant a third medal success for Team GB after Nicola Adams had won at the same stage in the womens flyweight division earlier on Tuesday.Joshua Buatsis bronze was the third British medal, meaning the sports minimum pre-Olympics target has been met. However, he lost the chance to upgrade his light heavyweight bronze before Joshua went on at Rio Centro 6 and the only other British medal hope is Savannah Marshall, who could secure a middleweight bronze against the Netherlands Nouchka Fontijn on Wednesday.For boxing to really join the Team GB medal party, Joyce and Adams need to make their finals. Even then, the success of other sports would cast a shadow over anything less than gold and the outside chance of Marshall joining them with a first or second place might be needed.Im disappointed but a bronze medal surpasses all expectations, light-heavyweight Buatsi said. I was aiming for gold and nothing else but coming out no one expected a medal. I did the hard work and I gave it my best shot.Britains boxers have had some tough draws and building momentum and a feelgood factor was difficult with the marquee fighters, Joyce and Adams, being given late starts in their competitions.Adams said she felt a bit of ring rust going into her quarterfinal, having been given a bye to that stage. And Joyce said he had been running around the Olympic Village like a madman, and even balancing his 6-feet-5-inch frame on a folding Brompton bike to get around.Time in the athletes village has followed a period at the Team GB training camp in Belo Horizonte for the boxers and if the squads remaining stars dont shine a little more brightly, the wisdom of their early arrival in Brazil may come in for questioning.
