Nicola Adams defeated Isabel Millan at Leicester Arena last night.

In just her fifth professional fight, the 35-year-old got the better of former world title challenger Millan over the course of the 10 rounds and was the winner on all three judges’ scorecards.

The Leeds fighter will now be targeting a first full world title shot as a professional.

Adams started strongly, with her speed causing her opponent problems in the early rounds.

And she saved the best until last, producing a late flurry of punches in the 10th round before her victory was announced.
