Birmingham flyweight Khalid Yafai is determined to go one better when he begins his European Championship quest in Ankara on Saturday after claiming silver in Moscow last year.
The 22-year-old is one of the favourites for gold this time around but he faces a tough opener against Ireland's Michael Conlon.
Yafai and all the other top continental fighters will compete with one eye on the World Championships later this year, which double as Olympic qualification.
"It's all about turning silver into gold and for me personally that would be perfect preparation going into the worlds later this year," he said.
"I can't wait to get the chance to qualify for London. Everybody assumes you're going to the Olympics but they don't know how hard it is to get there.
"The Europeans will get me closer to that goal. My build-up couldn't have gone any better. I believe I am the best in Europe and I plan to prove it."
Five British fighters are due in action on the opening day today, including Thomas Stalker, who is bidding to prove a point at his new 64kg weight.
Commonwealth Games champion Stalker said: "There's no-one in the world I feel I can't beat. I fully intend to come home with a medal."
Stalker starts against Dimitrijs Gutmans of Latvia. Heavyweight Danny Price faces a tough opener against Abdulkhamid Nurmagomedov of Russia.
