After taunting Great Britain’s Joe Joyce in the lead-up to the men’s super heavyweight boxing gold medal match, France’s Tony Yoka backed it up on Sunday, earning a unanimous decision to beat Joyce in three lopsided rounds. Yoka’s win gives France its first boxing gold medal since 2000.

Yoka joined his fiancee, 24-year-old Estelle Mossely, in bringing a medal to France. Mossely became the first French woman to win an Olympic gold in boxing when she won the 60 kg title on Friday. The pair is set to be married after the Olympics, and they celebrated together after Yoka’s win on Sunday.

The lead-up to Sunday’s fight, a rematch of Yoka’s controversial win over Joyce in last year’s world championships, was perhaps more entertaining than the actual bout itself. On Saturday, Yoka had already thrown his first jabs at Joyce in his meetings with reporters.

“I think Joe is more or less scared by me, psychologically, because of what happened at the world championships…. Now I am the world number one, I am much more confident in my boxing and I feel I can beat anybody,” Yoka said. “I don’t feel anything when he hits me, he’s just obsessed with hitting the other fighter, he’s like a robot.”
