Nicola Adams insists that her focus is on the Commonwealth Games rather than the possibility of turning professional.

Nicola Adams has insisted that she has no intention of turning professional in the near future ahead of her bid to become Commonwealth champion.

The 31-year-old has previously hinted at the possibility of leaving the amateur ranks, but she is retaining hopes of competing at the next Olympic Games in two years in Rio.

"If I wanted to go pro and be big-time, I could and I would," Adams told BBC Sport. "There's a gap in the market and if a big name were to go professional it could change everything for women's boxing, but I've still got dreams as an amateur and I'll wait to make any decisions until after the 2016 Olympics in Rio."

Adam begins her bid to add a Commonwealth gold to her Olympic title on Monday.
