The 19-year-old Leeds light-flyweight was one of a number of top juniors who stepped up when the GB podium programme was predictably deserted by some of its biggest names in the wake of London 2012.
Bateson claimed a superb bronze medal on his major senior debut at the European Championships in Minsk in June, and is targeting another podium place at next month's World Championships in Kazakhstan.
Having watched from the stands as former team-mates Luke Campbell and Anthony Joshua struck gold in London, Bateson is also eager to experience the next best thing to home advantage at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year.
