BEN Smith won a place in another national final as he saw off a fellow England international on Saturday.
The High Wycombe Amateur Boxing Club fighter won his Southern Junior ABA semi final against Eli Saunders in Portsmouth to add to his ever growing reputation.
Coach John Macinnes said: "Ben was pure class and put on a great show. He has worked very hard and it showed with a clear victory over another England rep.
"It hasn't been easy for him, training twice a day while doing exams, but he is a very driven young man. He has his hands full in the final against Everton Red Triangles' Peter Magrail, who also has international caps and won national titles, but Ben will be ready and give everything to bring home the title."
That fight will take place in Mansfield on Saturday.
Smith's success rounded off another successful for the Wycombe club as two further youngsters were victorious on their travels.
Kamal Brown gained revenge for a previous defeat by Liam Whitworth as the 14-year-old won a rematch with his opponent at Thatcham Football Club on a unanimous points decision.
On the same night 11-year-old Chanze Ballantyne won his first competitive bout as he also secured a unanimous points decision against opponent Jesse Cole.
Macinnes said: "I was very pleased with the way the boys boxed. Chanze put on one of the best performances I've ever seen from an 11-year-old and Kamal showed plenty of skill and courage to overturn his only loss."
