Galloway boxer Tyler Jolly has thanked people for the support he received as he won a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games.
The 23-year-old, who secured a record knockout last week, was defeated by Ioan Croft of Wales on Saturday night.
Jolly was cut open by an accidental clash of heads before a late flurry of blows from the Welshman in the final round was enough to see him off in the NEC Hall.
Reflecting on his medal success Tyler said: “I’m pretty happy with that now the dust has settled a wee bit and I’ve started to realise it’s a good achievement.
“At the time I was a wee bit deflated because I wanted the gold medal but I’ll take a bronze this time.
“It was a massive thing representing your country.
“I’m a very proud Scottish person so it was a big honour putting the colours on.
“The reception everyone got was amazing.
“It’s not the medal I wanted to get on the podium but it was a special moment having my mum and that there.”
