Representing Cuba, Cruz won two gold medals at the Pan American Games, as well as two gold medals in the AIBA World Championships.
Cruz beat Great Britain's Luke McCormack to advance to the final of the Men's Lightweight 63kg.
He began boxing at the age of 10.

American boxer Keyshawn Davis should see plenty of betting action with a payout potential of $350 on every $100 bet.
