Nicola Adams OBE is one of Britain's most celebrated sporting figures and the most successful female boxer in British history. A double Olympic Gold Medallist and World Champion, Nicola made history at London 2012 by winning Team GB's first ever women's boxing gold medal, before successfully defending her Olympic title at Rio 2016 - becoming the first British boxer to retain an Olympic crown in 92 years.
Her achievements have transformed women's boxing, earning her both an MBE and later an OBE for services to the sport. Beyond the ring, Nicola has become one of the UK's most recognisable broadcasters and personalities, appearing in Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Waterloo Road, as well as making history once again as part of the first same-sex pairing on Strictly Come Dancing.
Passionate about inspiring the next generation, Nicola is a leading advocate for women in sport, youth participation and healthy living. She currently serves as a mentor for the Alpine F1 Rac(H)er Programme, is a Goodwill Ambassador for The King's Trust and recently launched her own grassroots initiative, Get Started with Boxing with Nicola Adams, helping make boxing more accessible to young people across the UK.
