New Zealand has won its first boxing medal at the Olympics since David Tua way back in 1992.
David Nyika was already guaranteed to break that drought, having secured a bronze by advancing to the semi-finals.
But the pressure was on the 25-year-old today to advance to the gold medal bout.
Our reporter Nick Truebridge and cameraman Nick Monro joined Nyika's friends in family in Hamilton for this afternoon's big fight.
