Olympic flyweight boxing champion Robeisy Ramirez finally made sure of his place at the Rio Games on Thursday after reaching the bantamweight semi-finals at the last amateur qualifying tournament in Azerbaijan. Ramirez, gold medallist at London 2012, had been forced to travel to Baku for a last chance of making the grade after failing to clinch a spot in the continental qualifiers for the Americas. Britain's Pat McCormack and Josh Kelly also qualified for Rio in the light-welterweight and welterweight categories.
