Carl Froch is the first...

British boxer to win any sort of medal at the amateur world championships back in 2001.

I find it astonishing that only a decade ago Britain managed to medal at these championships for their first time. He won bronze btw.

Froch should have gone to the Olympics, he would be well-known now.

I think Frankie Gavin is the only one to win gold

Yes, I was amazed.

I'm doing an article over the next couple of days about the British boxing scene, we've got some special nights in store!

Its unbelievable how many top world class boxers are coming out of the UK. Expect few more potentials at the olypics.
