WATTS 1 FIGHT AWAY FROM RIO SELECTION

She’s the face of women’s boxing in Australia, and Laurieton’s Shelly Watts is just one bout away from gaining Olympic selection.

The Commonwealth lightweight gold medallist will fight for her ticket to Rio tonight, in the semi-final of the Asian qualifiers in China.

The top 3 in each weight division will automatically qualify for the Olympics, but if Watts loses tonight, she’ll have a second chance at the World titles in May.
