Tuesday night (18th) in Liverpool was special.
At the 4th Under 17s World Amateur Championship two English boxers won gold and a third took silver. English boxers had previously never won a medal.
Winner at 46 kilos Khalid Saeed Yafai from the Birmingham City club.
Winner at 70 kilos Anthony Agogo from Lowestoft.
Consider this - they boxed and won four times against Russians, Cubans, Kazaks, Americans and Uzbeks. Only Cuba won more gold medals - England beat Russia!

Bodes well for the future.

Hopefully Khalid will be a future Brummie star

Deceptive title there, Chambers. Fair play to all the lads though.

The winner in the 80kg class won on outclassed 15-0 in the first round, I bet we will be hearing more about him in 08 or 12.

Cheers for your encouraging words in my time of need, but I'll never be able to forgive myself

What the fornicate is that meant to mean?
