Hull's St Paul's ABC boxer Luke Campbell goes into the final with the narrowest of wins against Irishman Nevin, while Tom Stalker leaves Baku with a bronze medal and a place in next year's Olympic Games.
Luke Campbell's bout This was a close affair throughout with both boxers standing off waiting for the chink in their opponent's armour.
Luke edged ahead in the first, and looked to have edged the second too, but with the scorecards level at the end of round 2, it was nip and tuck in the last, but Campbell came out on top and secures his place in the final with a deserved win.
Result
56kg: Luke Campbell v John Joe Nevin (Ireland) - 12:12 countback
It wasn't to be for Tom Stalker. The powerful Ukrainian came forwards from the off, and Stalker, despite scoring with a range of good shots, couldn't keep his opponent at bay. The lead opened up to six at the end of the second, and this proved too much to retrieve for Tom.
Tom goes away with the bronze medal and a place at the Olympic Games - a fantastic achievement.
