Coulson targets London 2012 Games
Britain's Amanda Coulson is targeting a place at the London Olympics in 2012 despite losing to Canada's Mary Spencer at the women's World Championships.
The 26-year-old from Hartlepool lost 13-4 to the 2005 world champion in China in her first significant fight since moving to the 66kg division.
"I have a lot of years left and I'll keep prodding away," she said.
The International Olympic Committee will decide in 2009 whether to include women's boxing in the 2012 Games.
