Lennox Lewis urges Olympic champions' to 'take time' to decide future

Lewis: 'Pressure on Olympians' futures'

Former world heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis has urged Team GB's Olympians, Luke Campbell, Nicola Adams and Anthony Joshua to take their time when deciding their next move.

The trio all came away from London 2012 with gold medals and Adams made history after becoming the first female to win an Olympic medal.

"It all changes now for them because they are in high demand from promoters and managers," Lewis told BBC Radio Five Live. "There's no rush to make a decision, take your time."

Former Olympic silver medallist Amir Khan recently claimed that he is open to promoting Adams in the future.
