Joshua "buzzing" for Olympic final

Great Britain's Anthony Joshua has said that he is "buzzing" after claiming a place in Sunday's super heavyweight boxing final.

Joshua won a tight semi-final against Kazakhstan giant Ivan Dychko to guarantee himself at least a silver medal from London 2012.

He told BBC Sport: "Once again that was the best atmosphere I've ever boxed in. I've dedicated this win to Tom Stalker. Everything paid off and I was determined to get the win.

"He is a great fighter with a rangy jab and I'm happy everything has come together. I will be ready for the Italian in Sunday's final. I'm buzzing but I have to ride the steady rollercoaster."

Joshua now faces reigning Olympic champion Roberto Cammarelle in Sunday's super heavyweight showdown.
