Nicola Adams retired from boxing just last week and has been a huge inspiration to many women in sport for example, Demi Stokes who is the England left back in football.
She was one of the first women to go pro in boxing, and the first female boxer to win an Olympic title. In a very much male dominated sport, Adams has shown that there are no boundaries to what women can achieve and has greatly helped the profile of women in the sporting world. She has strived to make women’s participation in sport an encouraging environment where we support each other and strive to achieve whatever goals we set out to.
