Great stuff, let's hope that the others can follow him.
Thats now two Brummies who have shored up Olympic births - great work lads.
Sounds like Khalid had to do it the hard way as well.

More good news: James Degale is the sixth Brit on his way to Beijing, after beating the Hungarian, Istvan Szili. I'm sure Hitmanhatton will be pleased about that one.
Sadly Billy Joe Saunders and Stephen Smith lost their semi-final bouts. However, they can both still book an Olympic spot by winning a third place box-off on Sunday.

Two dumb(?) questions. Are Billy Joe Saunders and Bradley Saunders related?
What about this guy, his name is also Billy Joe Saunders and fights in the same weight class!
