Southwick Amateur Boxing Club's Neil Wray is set to snub an England training camp later this month.
Wray, who attended a similar training camp last month, has been selected for another England get-together in Manchester on August 22-24.
However, the light-welterweight has decided not to attend the session as he believes the England team to go to the Commonwealth Federations tournament in Kuala Lumpur later this year has already been selected and he is not in it.
Wray, who reached the semi-finals of the Senior ABAs last season, said: "I have not been picked for the Commonwealth Federations tournament or I would have heard.
"I have been sent a letter asking me to go to the training camp but I am going to blow it out.
"There were rumours circulating when I was in Manchester last time that the team had already been picked.
"I am unhappy about that if it is true.
"The selectors know who I am and what I am capable of. If they want me, then they want me but I am not going to be messed about by anybody.
"I would love to box for England but I am not going to jump when they say jump as I have been doing."
The former Army boxer, who was ranked seventh in the English standings at the end of last season, knows the decision could backfire on him.
He said: "It is a tough decision to make and probably won't do my England career any favours.
"I don't know how they will react to my decision but I am not going to be mucked around."
Wray had high hopes of being selected for the Commonwealth Federations tournament team when called to the first camp but was not selected for another England get-together at Crystal Palace at the start of this month.
