Cassidy, who won his opening round on Saturday against Delil Dadaev of Germany, will now face Estonia’s AS Stivens this Thursday.

Cassidy must reach the final of the qualifiers to be sure of a place in Paris this summer and should he lose in a semi-final he will then be in a box-off for the final qualification spot.
