Nicola Adams makes history by winning Olympic women's flyweight gold in Rio

Nicola Adams becomes the first British boxer to retain an Olympic title in 92 years by winning gold in the women's flyweight final at Rio 2016.

Nicola Adams has become the first boxer from Great Britain to retain an Olympic title in 92 years after she clinched gold in the women's flyweight final at Rio 2016.

The 33-year-old, who was also the first woman to win an Olympic boxing title when she triumphed in London four years ago, won a unanimous points decision to beat France's Sarah Ourahmoune.

Adams has won Olympic, European and Commonwealth golds and now becomes the first Briton to defend her Olympic crown since middleweight Harry Mallin in 1924.

Team GB have now won 26 golds in Rio and 63 medals overall, two short of the record 65 won at London 2012.
