Twins Ioan and Garan Croft have left the Great Britain podium squad five months before the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The 22-year-old Welsh pair's move was announced by Welsh Boxing.

On social media Ioan stated it was "time for us to move to the next chapter of our boxing careers".

Welsh Boxing head of performance Adam Park said: "Everyone at Welsh Boxing would like to thank Garan and Ioan for their immense contribution to the Performance Programme."

Park added: "Whilst we are sad to see both leave the GB Boxing Programme at this point in the Olympic cycle we wish them nothing but success in their future endeavours.

"They have acted with professionalism throughout their time in the programme and have always made time for the next generation coming through the programme."
