“He said he remembered sparring me years ago but he won’t forget this now. I thought I boxed really well and I even got to showboat a bit, to remind the judges how easy I was finding it.
“It’s a bronze medal but I’m not even bothered about bronze, I want the gold – nothing less.”
McCormack is fighting in the light welterweight division (64kg).
Meanwhile, Luke's twin brother Pat will also hope to guarantee a medal today.
He is up against Musa Bwogi of Uganda later this morning in the welterweight division (69kg).
