OLYMPIC boxing boss Terry Edwards has refused to be drawn on his future as the British team's head coach.
The team had their most successful Olympics since 1956 in Beijing but the team's success was overshadowed by world lightweight champion Frankie Gavin's failure to make the 60kgs weight days before the Games began and welterweight Billy Joe Saunders' suspension for allegations of lewd conduct while in a pre-Olympics training camp before the Games.

When asked whether he would carry on as coach until 2012, Edwards said: "We'll see."
