McCormack, whose twin brother Pat is competing at welterweight, got the better of Manish Kaushik of India via unanimous decision in the men’s lightweight division to set up a last-16 bout against dangerous Cuban Andy Cruz.

Inspirational mum-of-three Davison, meanwhile, brushed aside Morocco’s Rabab Cheddar 5-0 in the women’s flyweight competition, while Whittaker also had a comfortable unanimous decision win over Colombia’s Jorge Vivas in the men’s light-heavyweight category.

Davison, 27, will next take on China’s Chang Yuan while Whittaker goes up against Egypt’s Abdelrahman Salah.
