Fowler still on Road to Rio with British Lionhearts

Fowler will be back in action in the World Series of Boxing (WSB) at York Hall as he bids to keep marching towards Brazil for next year's Games.

He currently sits joint fifth in the middleweight rankings with 14 points after winning all three of his contests this season in matches against Algeria, China and Mexico.

And he admits he is determined to secure victory number four as he bids to climb the rankings and finish the regular season in one of the top-two places and guarantee himself a place at the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016.

"Qualifying for the Olympics is the main goal for me with WSB," said Fowler.

"I had to miss one match (against Russia away) because of injury so that has set me back slightly, however I am confident that if I keep winning and go through the season unbeaten then I will have every chance of finishing in one of the top two places and qualify for Rio."

Joining Fowler in the team to face Ukraine are three fellow Commonwealth Games medallists, Ashley Williams at light-flyweight, Qais Ashfaq at bantamweight and Sam Maxwell at light welterweight. Overseas selection Ionut-Mirel Jitaru of Romania completes the line-up at heavyweight.
