It's Tammer time again
A team of five boxers will be hoping to replicate last year's success when they head out to the Tammer tournament in Tampere, Finland this week.
England was named best team of last year's tournament, winning three gold medals, a silver and a bronze. This year they will be hoping to do even better.
The team features Danny Price, who took a gold medal and the boxer of the tournament trophy in 2007, as well as Obed Mbwakongo and Tom Stalker, who took bronze and silver respectively. They are joined by coaches Terry Edwards - fresh from leading an Olympic squad to their best medal haul in 52 years - and Bob Dillion.
The squad is as follows:
48kg Darran Langley (Hollington ABC, London)
54kg Luke Campbell (St Paul's ABC, Hull)
60kg Tom Stalker (St Alolysius ABC, Liverpool)
81kg Obed Mbwakongo (Lynn ABC, London)
91kg Danny Price (Westway ABC, Scarborough)

Obed Mbwakongo v Jussi Jurvanen (Finland)
