Two Commonwealth Games champions were included among Great Britain's boxers for Baku 2015.
The British Olympic Association (BOA) added 10 athletes to Team GB for the Baku 2015 European Games with nine male boxers and one shooter.
Antony Fowler and Joe Joyce both made the British team after winning Commonwealth Games gold last summer - at 75kg and +91kg, respectively.
"It is a great achievement to be selected to be part of Team GB and I am really looking forward to competing at the European Games", Joyce told reporters after the BOA announcement.

The British boxing group will also include the 19-year-old Muhammad Ali, who captured bronze at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games.
