Sanford takes home bronze in boxing

Boxer Wyatt Sanford took home Canada's first boxing medal in 28 years earning a bronze after falling to France's Sofiane Oumiha in the semifinals of the 63.5-kilogram category.

Sanford was guaranteed at least a bronze, meaning if you make it to the semifinals in boxing, there are two bronze medals awarded.

The last time a Canadian won a medal in boxing was 1996, when David Defiagbon won a silver in Atlanta.
