And he spoke to former world champion Kal afterwards while he was being interviewed by BBC.

Galal put on a set of headphones given to him by BBC in the mixed zone and heard his brother's voice.

Kal, 32, said: "Galal, I'm so proud."

Galal, 28, responded: "Did you see that? Was it a good fight?";

Kal replied: "Unreal, unreal. You've been brilliant the whole time."

He then added: "Galal, last thing I've gotta tell ya, I've got your PS5 out there, waiting for ya."

Galal said: "I can't wait to get home and play on it, can't wait."

Galal, last thing I've gotta tell ya, I've got your PS5 out there, waiting for ya."

The flyweight won Team GB's first gold of the delayed Tokyo Games in what has already been a record-breaking boxing tournament for the squad.

With SIX medals guaranteed, it proved GB boxing's most successful Olympics ever.

Super-heavyweight Frazer Clarke, 30, and featherweight Karriss Artingstall, 26, both left Japan with bronze.

Light-heavyweight Ben Whittaker, 24, and welterweight Pat McCormack, 26, were both reduced to silver having been beaten by Cubans in the final.

But Yafai, who upset Cuban Yosvany Veitia, 29, in the quarter-finals, brought home the gold with a flawless run in the Games.
