'We've done everything in terms of preparation and have travelled all over.

'I want them both to turn pro but get to senior level first in the amateurs.

'There's already people showing interest in them in the pro game.

'They are filling out all the time and getting their man strength. They are powerful and hitting hard.

'We're quietly confident about what they can achieve, but they need to be at their best.

'I'm proud of them and can't wait to see them do the business.'

Bereznicki competes in the youth age group and will be hoping to follow previous success at national level when he takes on Attleborough's Tommy Fletcher at 81kg.

Heart of Portsmouth's Driscoll has also shown he previous championship class and will be aiming to continue in the same vein in his youth cadet meeting with Tigers' Shakiel Iqbal at 56kg.
