Cardiff bantamweight Andrew Selby has advanced to round two of the World Boxing Championships in Milan after a walkover against Arthur Mbengua.

But Mold super-heavyweight Andy Jones suffered a crushing 99-second defeat to Cuban Erislandy Savon, nephew of triple-Olympic gold winner Felix.

The shell-shocked Welshman endured two standing counts and was 10-0 behind when the referee ended his agony.

Pontllanfraith featherweight Craig Evans has yet to begin his campaign.

The 19-year-old fights out of the Pontypool club and won gold at this year's British Amateur Boxing Association Senior Championships.
