Of those 25 people to stand atop the Olympic podium multiple times, 13 have fought professionally. Dustin Wiens ranks how their pro careers fared.

Two-time Olympic gold medal winner Nicola Adams, 37-years-old, has no regrets about making her decision to retire from the sport. Adams, who captured Olympic gold in 2012 at the games in London and then repeated her feat in 2016 at the games in Rio, stunned her fans when he decided to hang up her gloves for good in November of last year.

Katie Taylor is not a subject off limits to Chantelle Cameron, but it is one she has spent a long-time discussing. One thing Cameron is determined not to do, however, is let Taylor upset her own career plans.

It is a shame that most boxing fans will greet the retirement of Nicola Adams with something of a shrug. Adams might not have hit the heights of her amateur career in the pro ranks, but she is a trailblazer who has been an inspiration for all British female boxers who follow.

Rather turning it into any big media event, Nicola Adams chose her local newspaper to announce that she was hanging up her gloves. The 37-year-old, who holds the WBO flyweight title, said she is quitting the ring after suffering an eye injury and being told she could permanently damage her eyesight if she continued.

FRANK WARREN HAS paid tribute to the career and achievements of Nicola Adams OBE after the WBO world flyweight champion announced her retirement from the sport earlier today. The 37-year-old, known as 'The Lioness' can claim to be the undisputed Golden Girl of British boxing.

DANIEL DUBOIS ONCE again demonstrated that he is the new and irresistible force of the heavyweight scene with his one round destruction of Ebenezer Tetteh to win the Commonwealth title, but he was not alone in leaving a lasting impression at the Royal Albert Hall on Friday night. Daniel’s late shift against the previously unbeaten Ghanaian was short and particularly sweet. He just came out from his corner and immediately reminded everyone what he is all about. His boxing skills are improving all the time and he just took his opponent apart with his powder keg jab.

Daniel Dubois will face many tougher tests then Ebenezer Tetteh on his rise to the top. The Ghanaian was under the impression that he had come to the Royal Albert Hall, London, for a fight on Friday night, but he was wrong. He had come to get beaten up.

Nicola Adams’ first fight in nearly a year wasn’t nearly as pretty as it was effective in maintaining her unbeaten ways. The two-time Olympic Gold medalist from Leeds, England registered the first successful defense of her flyweight title the hard way, settling for a split decision with Mexico’s Maria Salinas over 10 rounds Friday evening at Royal Albert Hall in the Kensington section of London, England.

Nicola Adams said that she feared the shoulder injury that put off her world-title challenge in March could have possibly ended her career if she had decided to box on with it.
