London 2012 gold medallist Nicola Adams’ bid to retain her Olympic title received another boost on Sunday as she won the European Olympic qualifier in Turkey.
The 33-year-old sealed her spot on the plane to Rio on Thursday, but put the icing on the cake by beating Bulgaria's Stanimira Petrova by split decision to take gold overall.
May’s World Championships in Kazakhstan are up next for Adams, which will be a huge target for the flyweight as it is the only major title she is yet to win.
"Winning this gold shows I am still a strong force in Europe and it has set me up nicely for the World Championships,” she said. “I want to go there and win a gold medal.”
