Manju Wanniarachchi guaranteed Sri Lanka their first Commonwealth Games boxing medal in 60 years, while England's Callum Smith made sure of a third medal in the fighting family on Sunday. Smith outpointed Scotland's Aston Brown 4-0 to storm into the welterweight semi-finals and ensure a medal, emulating brothers Paul (boxing silver in 2002) and Stephen (gold in 2006) in the process.
Olympic bronze-medallist Vijender Singh of India won the day's shortest bout, knocking out Namibia's Elias Nashivela in the opening round to move into the middleweight semi-finals.
Sri Lankan Wanniarachchi, 30, made sure of the medal when he defeated Kenya's Nicholas Okoth to move into the bantamweight semi-finals.
"This is Sri Lanka's first boxing medal since 1950, so this is great for us. It is historic," said manager Dian Gomes.
"He (Wanniarachchi) has come a long way. In the 2006 Commonwealth Games, he lost in the quarter-finals. So finally he is among medals for his country."
Julie beat India's Akhil Kumar 7-5 to move into the last-four.
"He (Julie) was good, but I have beaten him before at the 2006 Commonwealth Games," said the Indian. "A defeat is a defeat. Losing is part of the game."
Scotland's Josh Taylor and England's Thomas Stalker both advanced to the lightweight semi-finals. Taylor, who beat Kiribati's Kautoa Roddy 10-0 on points, said: "I didn't think I'd win 10-0, but I did think I'd win." Stalker defeated Australian Luke Jackson 7-2 on points to set up a clash with Indian Jai Bhagwan.
"It's a dream come true. I have been working on a tight guard and I don't get hit often because I am tall," said Stalker.
"I want to beat the Indian boxer. I want to be a winner and be the best. To beat an Indian in his backyard you have to do a lot more. One point is not enough. I will need to give 120 percent." Bhagwan defeated Nigeria's Waheed Sogbamu 10-0 while Tonga's Lomalito Moala's got the better of Canadian Alex Rynn 4-2 in other lightweight quarter-finals.
