GB Head Coach Terry Edwards commented: "I am delighted with the selection of these 10 boxers. The World Championships in Chicago looks set to be the biggest tournament in the history of amateur boxing. The added spice of Olympic qualification for quarter-finalists (weights 48-81kg) and for semi-finalists (weights 91 and +91kg) will ensure the highest of standards. The team selected is one of the most experienced and best prepared I have worked with. I am confident that, with a reasonable draw, all of the boxers have a realistic chance of qualifying."
