Full coverage: 2016 Rio Olympics

China's boxers look ahead to the Rio Olympics. With 10 members of the team qualified for the Games, the country's pugilists have been training in Beijing. And as Damion Jones reports, they're aiming to set a new record for gold medals won by the country's fighters, at a single Games.

China's boxing team has undergone a makeover on the road from London to Rio, and the country's coach believes the PRC's pugilistic prospects hinge on recalibration in the face of recent regulations.

"We are really shouldering some pretty heavy pressure ahead of the Rio Olympics. As everybody knows, there have been some reforms to the rules of amateur boxing in the Olympics. There are several differences in the point scoring system, so it is a big challenge for us to adapt to the new rules," said China coach Yang Xiaoqiang.

The boxers come from around China, but they all have visions of winning gold, and Hu Jinguan believes the current training camp in Beijing is providing them with a blueprint for Summer success.

"I think there is a very good atmosphere within our team. Everyone has a good mentality and trains very hard. We are very earnestly implementing the training plan laid out by our coaching staff, and completing every training session fruitfully," said Hu Jianguan, 52-kg boxer.

The PRC's female fighters are determined to continue making their mark on the world stage, led by Li Qian, who won the 75-kilogram division at the Strandja, Europe's oldest international tournament, and is looking forward to her first Olympics.

"The Olympics are the holy grail for every athlete. And every athlete hopes to compete in an Olympics. Now I am very excited to be able to have the honor of attending the Rio Games. It will be one of my most cherished memories," said Li Qian, 75-kg boxer.

The PRC's pugilists won two gold medals in Beijing in 2008, and one in London in 2012.
