Olympics-Boxing-Cuban fights Cuban and Azerbaijan wins (Reuters)
By Alan Baldwin RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 16 (Reuters) – Olympic boxing witnessed the rare sight of two Cubans fighting each other in the ring at the Rio Games on Tuesday with the winner securing a medal for Azerbaijan. Lorenzo Sotomayor Collazo, the Havana-born cousin of Cuba’s 1992 Olympic high jump champion Javier Sotomayor, was fighting in the red corner for Azerbaijan against Cuban light-welterweight Yasniel Toledo. Countries can have only one boxer representing them in each weight division at the Olympics, providing they qualify, and the competition for a slot is intense in a country like Cuba that boasts a proud history in the sport.
