Young boxers training at a Bradford gym today got a glimpse of the first Olympic gold medal to be won by a woman boxer.

Nicola Adams, who trains at weekends at Huggy’s gym in Spring Mill Street, off Manchester Road, was greeted with a round of applause by boxers at a training session when she dropped in yesterday.

And they quickly huddled around to get an close-up look at her history-making gold medal which she won at London 2012.

Miss Adams, 29, a former Bradford College student, said it felt “really good” to bring the gold medal back to her home county and show it to the boxers.

“It’s really nice,” she said.

“I’m going to have more time next week when I get back into training so I can really spend some time with them.”
