British boxer Andrew Selby delighted to book Olympic place

A delighted Andrew Selby tells BBC Sport's John Inverdale and Olympic bronze medallist Richie Woodhall he is "over the moon" at securing his place at the 2012 Olympics, external, after Khalid Yafai failed to make the weight for the second fight of their "box-off".

Selby had won the first bout of their three-fight flyweight contest at the British Boxing Championships at York Hall in London on Friday, but Yafai was then unable to make the weight for Saturday's fight, handing his opponent a 2-0 victory.

Yafai, who says he only "lost out by 300g", admits he is heartbroken not to have qualified, but wishes Selby good luck in his bid for an Olympic gold medal at London 2012.
