Will be great to get a couple more lads qualify.
One question, what happens if 2 boxers from britain qualify through at the same weight limit? Can 1 go to the olympics in that weight , and the other go at a different wieght? Or can you only box in the wieght division you qualified in?
So would the boxers have a box off in this country, or would it be a decision by the ABA who would box for Britain

There would be a box-off.

Confidence must be high on the team since the world champs and lets hope a few more can secure a birth.
Its been some time since GB has sent a sizeable squad to the Olympics. Would love to see some medals come back from Beijing
(C'mon Frankie - lets see you grab gold!)
