Nicola Adams uneasy with fame

Nicola Admas explains that she feels uneasy with fame following her gold medal at the London Olympics.

Nicola Adams has said that she has tried to shun her post-London 2012 fame.

The 31-year-old made history two years ago when she became the world's first female Olympic boxing champion.

"Winning at London 2012 helped me work out the people who are real - my friends and family - and the people who are fake," she told BBC Sport.

"Don't get me wrong, there are times when it's really cool being treated special. But mostly I just like being what I was.

"I'm still Nicola Adams from Yorkshire, I still walk my dog in the same field I always have done."

Adams squares off against Oluwatoyin Oladeji on Monday evening.
