Sorry for starting a duplicate thread, but the title of that other thread pissed me off

Bodes well for the future.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!
