Adams marching on with convincing victory

-

Nicola Adams is convinced she has discovered the blueprint for world title domination after dispatchin­g gutsy Mexican Maryan Salazar after 35 seconds of the third round on her triumphant homecoming in Leeds on Saturday night.

The double Olympic champion made the most of the opportunit­y of boxing threeminut­e rounds for the first time in her career to deliver an explosive performanc­e, roared on by a near-capacity crowd at the First Direct Arena.

It was a significan­t improvemen­t on Adams’ relatively low-key debut win over Virginie Carcamo in Manchester last month.

Adams’ promoter Frank Warren is working on lining up a shot at WBO title holder Monserrat Alarcon around the end of the year.
