Olympic Boxing 2016: Medal Winners, Scores and Saturday's Results

Nicola Adams retained her women's flyweight gold on Saturday after boxing her way to victory against Sarah Ourahmoune of France on the penultimate day of the 2016 Olympics.

Adams' victory made her the first British boxer since 1924 to successfully defend an Olympic gold medal, and BBC Radio 5live host Conor McNamara called it a crowning piece of boxing history:
