Ren lashing out for gold

China's female boxers are ready to fight for a share of gold at the event's Olympic debut in London.

Boasting reigning flyweight (51kg) amateur world champion Ren Cancan, China expects to grab at least one gold medal out of the three categories at the London Games, where women's boxing joins the Olympic program for the first time.

The 24-year-old Ren became the first Chinese to win three world titles in a row after beating British boxer Nicola Adams in the 51kg final in Qinhuangdao, Hebei province, in May.
