PARIS — Hey, Wyatt Sanford, you just won an Olympic bronze medal in boxing, what are you doing next?

“Tomorrow, I’m going to Disneyland with the wife,” said Sanford, who is married to two-time Olympian Pamela Ware. “We’re going to celebrate our last few days in Paris in the best way possible, and that’s being with family.”

Sanford, 25, won his first two bouts in the 63.5-kilogram weight division against fighters from Bulgaria and Uzbekistan to guarantee himself a medal, but dropped a 4-1 decision to Sofiane Oumiha of France on Sunday, ending his competition. Olynpic boxing awards two bronze medals to the semifinal losers rather than stage a fight for third place.
