    The shock is Campbell not being in there but his form has not been great. Would of like to have seen Joshua given a go.

    All I know is Bradley Saunders went to the last Olympics, I think. As did one of the Yafai's? Anthony Ogogo was on Big Brother, he has won the junior Olympics before and went through the whole of this year's ABAs only conceding one point, which was in the final. Don't quote me on ANY of this though :lol:

    K Yafai and Saunder are former Olympians
    G Yafai is Khalid's younger brother and highly touted
    Fairly decent and experienced operators in with a shout are Stalker, Weaver and Ogogo

    Steven Simmons has been GB squads representitive at 91 kg for a couple years but has put in a brilliant effort to get down to 81. He wasn't even carrying much fat at 91, best of luck big man.

    Man, **** like this is just ****ed.

    Is this cause the other boy was getting funding previously ?

    Not too clued up on this stuff.

    Also, am i right in thinking that you will find reps at there weight not competing in there own nationals as they are away at some other tourney etc ?

    Any info would be appreciated and **** me that boy must be pissed !!!

    Whats his plans, is he going to go Pro ?

    Cheers all.

    Nah he's from Neilstown, just down the road from where I am.

    Yeah i'd say he's getting decent money. Not sure of the figure though
