The 2014 champions suffered defeat against Astana Arlans Kazakhstan in last year’s final but have the opportunity to put those memories to bed against the Lionhearts, who are appearing in their first-ever WSB final. 

Cuba have dropped just three bouts on their way to reaching a third successive final, all of which came in a 3-2 group stage defeat to Ukraine Otamans, the Lionhearts' quarter-final victims.

They have been in imperious form in the knock-out rounds, whitewashing Mexico Guerreros in the quarter-finals before inflicting the same fate on Uzbek Tigers in the last four.

Team captain Julio Cesar la Cruz is joined by fellow three-time world champion Lazaro Alvarez in a Cuba line-up that also features Olympic champions Roniel Iglesias and Robeisy Ramirez.

The Lionhearts have far surpassed their previous campaign, which saw them suffer group stage elimination, and will no doubt take confidence from last week's convincing 7-3 semi-final win over defending champions Astana Arlans Kazakhstan at York Hall.

Three of the boxers that will compete for Great Britain at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games have been named in the Lionhearts' team to face the Cuba at the Sport Complex Uzbekistan.

Light flyweight Galal Yafai, flyweight Muhammad Ali and heavyweight Lawrence Okolie are all due to compete and will be joined by seven other members of the GB Boxing squad.

Completing the line-up is bantamweight Peter McGrail, lightweight Luke McCormack, light welterweight Dalton Grant, welterweight Ekow Essuman, middleweight Troy Williamson, light heavyweight Thomas Whittaker-Hart, and super heavyweight Frazer Clarke. 

Yafai, Ali, McCormack, Okolie and Clarke have been among the mainstays of the Lionhearts squad this season and are all unbeaten in WSB.

Ali, Okolie and Yafai each have two wins this season, while Clarke has four with three of them coming inside the distance.

McCormack, who was named WSB boxer of the quarter-finals in the Lionhearts' 8-2 demolition of the Ukraine Otamans, has a 5-0 record in WSB made up of three wins this season and two from 2015.

"Compared to other teams in WSB we have a relatively young and inexperienced squad so to make the final of a competition as difficult and physically demanding as WSB is a superb achievement by all of the boxers that have represented the British Lionhearts this season," said Rob McCracken, performance director of GB Boxing and the head coach of the British Lionhearts.

"A final against Cuba will be the biggest challenge yet, however the boxers should be confident in their ability and as long as they give their best they can be proud of what they have achieved this year."

All 10 bouts will take place in one night with action due to start at 7pm local time.

If the match is level at 5-5 after 10 bouts, there will be a tie-break bout at light-welterweight.
