Nicola Adams claims home-coming victory

    Nicola Adams claimed victory in front of a rapturous home crowd.

    The double Olympic gold medallist stopped her opponent, Mexican teenager Maryan Salazar, in the third round.

    It is the 34-year-old’s second professional victory.

    The contest was fought over three-minute rounds rather than the usual two minutes for women, a change which gave the Briton the upper hand.

    Adam’s trainer, Jason Spencer, believes she will soon be ready for a world title fight.
