Flyweight Andrew Selby and welterweight Fred Evans became Wales' first European amateur champions in 86 years in Ankara, Turkey, on Friday. Selby, a bronze medallist in 2008 and 2010, beat former three-time champion Georgy Balakshin of Russia 13-10. Evans beat Mahamed Nurudzinau of Belarus 15-9 in his final. Liverpool light-welterweight Tom Stalker had to settle for silver while London light-flyweight Charlie Edwards won bronze. Selby and Evans were following in the footsteps of England's Luke Campbell, who in 2008 became the first Briton to win European gold in 60 years. Overall, it is Britain's best European Championships showing in more than half a century. The Welsh pair, both full-time members of the GB Olympics podium squad, still face a fight for Olympic qualification, with Selby going head-to-head with former medallist Khalid Yafai for the single GB slot at 2012.
