Would like to hear your thoughts on Gavin's unprecedented victory - its a great day for British amateur boxing, don't ya think?!

Watching Gavin in the final as we speak, just finished 18-10, well done to him.

Any chance of him turning pro now, or some time in the future?

Yes, exceptional performance from Gavin. I didn’t think he would get past Alexey Tischenko & am very much looking forward to them meeting at the Olympics. I wonder if Alexey Tischenko will drop down to Featherweight if he can lose the weight. To be honest I don’t think many people would have thought Gavin could have beat Tischenko, but to his credit he did it.

Was disappointed that Price didn’t medal or qualify & what happened to Perkins.

Tony Jeffries probably achieved what he was aiming for, in qualification & no doubt will be happy with his performance. Yet disappointed not to get a medal. Only a few weeks ago we didn’t know who was going to represent England at 81kg

Joe Murray & Bradley Saunders did exceptional to get to the medal stages and there place in the GB team.

Now Britain has something to look forward to, and there are still 2 more qualifying events to get a full squad to the Olympics.

Best keep my predictions to myself for the Olympics LOL

Don’t forget the Cubans joining in for that one!

So can any other boxer still qualify in the weight divisions that already have a boxer qualified?

What i mean is , can you have 2 boxers in the same weight division having qualified for the olympics?

I mean in Athletics every country can have 3 sprinters in the 100 metres.

And boxing by its nature is easily to have an injury in the run up to the olympics , so having another boxer qualified would be good.

Hope that makes sense.

Sorry you can't have two boxers from the same country in one weight class.
Alexey Tischenko is already qualified at 60 kg so there's no point going back down to 57 I guess.

Does anyone know what would happen if, for example, another Brit was to get a medal at the next qualifying tournament at the same weight as Saunders, Murray or Gavin?

Who would decide who got to go?

I would expect there to be a box off in that situation but I reckon Fankie's birth is safe

I don't think Britain will have any fighters competing in these tournaments at the weights where they've already qualified someone.
