Nicola Adams to make her American debut on undercard of Saul Alvarez's match-up with Gennady Golovkin


Nicola Adams is to make her American debut when she fights for the third time as a professional on the undercard of Saul Alvarez's match-up with Gennady Golovkin.

The double Olympic champion faces Hungary's Alexandra Vlajk on the September 16 bill at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena, where Alvarez and Golovkin meet for the IBF, WBA and WBO middleweight titles in the year's most significant fight.

"It's great to be fighting three-minute rounds again as this made a big difference in Leeds and I'm hoping for a similar outcome this time. My training has been going really well with Virgil Hunter and the team. I can't wait to get in the ring on the 16th."

Adams' promoter Frank Warren added: "This is without doubt the boxing event of 2017, and I am delighted that Nicola has the chance to showcase her skills on such a huge bill. I have every confidence that Nicola will become a world champion in the professional ranks."
