    Preview:

    Possibly the most interesting division of them all! Frankie Gavin is perhaps the biggest British hope here, Tishenko (Russia) was unbeaten for four years before losing to Gavin at the World's (and is still considered among the best amateurs p4p), Klychenko beat Gavin at the last European Championships, and Kim Song Guk (North Korea) is coming off a silver medal in Athens. Add to those Sadam 'World Kid' Ali (USA) and Aussie hope Anthony Little, Italian WC silver medallist Domenico Valentino and highly ranked Chinese Hu Qing. Surely this cannot dissapoint.
