Nicola Adams: "Everybody is a challenge"

Team England boxer Nicola Adams vows to remain focused in her bid for Commonwealth Games gold this summer.

Team England boxer Nicola Adams has insisted that "everybody is a challenge" for the 2012 Olympic champion each time she steps into the ring.

Adams advanced into the Commonwealth Games semi-finals on Wednesday after overcoming Erandi de Silva in four rounds in Glasgow.

"She was a really game fighter. I have to give her credit, she never gave up and kept on coming forward," she told reporters

"Everybody is a challenge for me at this weight. Everybody wants to be the new Nicola Adams, everybody wants to beat me and take the number one spot, so I have just got to stick to cutting my grass and not worry about how green everybody else's is."

Adams will face Canada's Mandy Bujold in the semi-finals on Friday.
