Nicola Adams to face Mexican at homecoming fight

Wednesday, 10 May 2017 07:00

Nicola Adams will face Mexico's Maryan Salazar in Leeds on Saturday night.

It will be the double Olympic champion’s second professional fight and the first in her home city in 20 years.

The fight will mark the first time Adams has fought over four three-minute rounds, rather than the conventional two-minute rounds in women's bouts.

The 34-year-old beat Argentina's Virginia Carcamo on her professional debut last month.

Her opponent, the 18-year-old Salazar, has fought six professional contests and lost one.
