WEST HAM'S Dudley O'Shaughnessy has been selected for international action when a mixed England squad takes on the visiting United States team in a Sunday show at York Hall, Bethnal Green.
The talented boxer (pictured) is called up for the home team at 69kg on the show which includes male and female contests.
It is a chance for the 20-year-old Canning Town boxer to continue his amateur ambitions after reaching the National ABA finals with a string of impressive displays earlier this year.
FAIRBAIRN BC entry Jacob Basi moved through the finals of the national novice championships at the Five Star BC, Harold Hill, on Sunday.

Basi picked up a warning in the last round for dropping his shoulder too low when inside, but he won comfortably on points.
