Panel: Who are you tipping to win gold at the Olympic Games?
Sam Mellish/GB Boxing

Lewis Richardson
GB middleweight

GB Boxing have a special team in Tokyo. I believe any one of them could medal, but if I had to pick one to win gold it would be Pat McCormack. What a story it would be for Frazer Clarke though. Oleksandr Khyzhniak and the Russia’s Albert Batyrgaziev are my other tips for gold. But come on Team GB!

Tony Jeffries
Olympic medallist

I think the McCormack brothers are some of the most talented fighters GB has seen in a long time and have got a great chance of gold, as well as big Frazer Clarke.

Charlie Sims
Boxing manager

Pat McCormack, Frazer Clarke and Peter McGrail. All have been outstanding through qualifiers and major tournaments in the build up. I can see Ben Whittaker has the talent and Galal Yafai has the experience to knock on the door too. GB’s women have bundles of talent, I think any of them can medal.

Chris McKenna
Sports reporter

For GB, the favourites to get a gold have to be Pat McCormack and Lauren Price. I think Ben Whittaker can be the star of the Games if he gets a good draw. Ireland have a smaller team but keep an eye on Kurt Walker, Kellie Harrington and the Walsh siblings – Aidan and Michaela.
