Team GB boxer Nicola Adams will win at least a silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics after breezing past five-time world champion Mary Kom of India.

I am in the final now and all I want to do is make my mum and my family and friends proud,? said Adams after the fight. ?I think I have done that today by getting into the final. ?I beat Mary Kom in the world championships to qualify but this time I was not taking any chances. ?You have to be special to be a five-time world champion and I think that shows my class again by beating her to get to the final.? Adams, who was cheered on by prime minister David Cameron and former Olympic silver medallist Amir Khan, added: ?I massively want that gold, words can?t express how much I want it. David Cameron and Amir Khan await the decision (Picture: Reuters) ?No-one will remember the three silvers I got in the worlds if I get that gold. It will mean everything to me.? She will face much-fancied Cancan Ren of China in the final, who she trails 2-1 in head-to-heads. The bout takes place tomorrow at 4.30pm. Before today?s fight, the 29-year-old was already Britain?s first female boxing Olympic medallist, having defeated Bulgaria?s Stoyka Petrova in the quarter-final. PICTURES: Window on the Olympics
