Reid suffered a 3-2 split decision loss to Morocco's Khadija Mardi in a women's heavyweight bout on Wednesday, leaving Lewis Richardson as the only British boxer in the competition."We've all been so supportive of each other. We've given each other so much respect and we've been there for each other. We're a close team," she added.
Australia started the day on a tough note as men's light middleweight Shannan Davey lost to Bulgarian Rami Kiwan, adding to three defeats for Australian boxers on Tuesday.
