Thailand's Manus Boonjumnong already knows what he wants to give his mother for her birthday - an Olympic medal, ideally gold.
Light-welterweight Manus started his quest to become the first Thai boxer to win successive Olympic titles by outpointing Japan's Masatsugu Kawachi 8-1 on Thursday to advance to the quarterfinals.
His next fight, against Kazakhstan's Serik Sapiyev, is on Aug 17 but the 28-year-old already has his eyes on Aug 22.
