English champion Gene Smith has already done the hard part by qualifying for the English team chosen for the championships in June.

However, the dedicated 16-year-old is required to pay his own way to the two week extravaganza in Italy and fund his own hotel and training facilities.

Last month Gene notched up the most impressive win of his fledgling career when he clinched his second English title after taking an away bout against an opponent at six hours notice away.
