Nicola Adams is aiming to make more history at Glasgow 2014 as she bids to become the first female boxer to win a Commonwealth Games gold medal.

Olympic champion Adams will be afforded star billing after her exploits in London two years ago and will start as the clear favourite to win the women’s 51kg flyweight division.

But a recent shock defeat in the European Championships last month at the hands of Bulgaria’s Stoyka Petrova proved Adams is far from invincible and she can expect to face some stiff competition from rising Indian star Pinky Jangra and Canada’s Mandy Bujold.

Adams said: “I never take anything for granted but I would love to make more history in Glasgow and my recent defeat has only increased my motivation to do that.”
