Egyptian boxers talk about Tokyo 2020 hopes

Not since 2004 at the Athens Olympics have Egypt secured a boxing medal.

Indeed the Games in Greece saw Egypt secure a record medal haul in the country's history at the Olympics.

Egypt were awarded one silver and two bronze medals in boxing.

The last time they had claimed a boxing medal was at the 1960 Games in Rome when Abdel Moneim El-Guindi won Egypt's first boxing medal after picking up bronze in the men's flyweight.

Now hopefuls Abdelrahman Orabi and Yousry Rezk will be looking to follow in their footsteps.

The 33-year-old Orabi is competing in the light heavyweight (81kg) division while Rezk will take part in the super heavyweight (91kg) class.
