Delicious Orie Loses Controversial Olympic Bout

Delicious Orie's Olympic aspirations were abruptly dashed after a controversial split decision loss to Armenia's Davit Chaloyan in the men's 92kg category. Orie, who was seen as a strong medal contender following his gold wins at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the European Games, lost 3-2, despite being ahead on two judges' scorecards going into the final round. The decision sparked outrage among fans and commentators, with many claiming Orie was unfairly judged and calling for Team GB to lodge a complaint. Expressing his disappointment, Orie stated, 'I feel like I've let myself down and let my family down,' reflecting on the emotional toll of the loss. This defeat marks a challenging start for Great Britain in boxing at the Paris Olympics, as four of the six boxers have already exited the competition early. Orie's loss adds to the concerns surrounding the judging standards at the Olympics.
