Nicola Adams: Coaches told me women can't box - so I showed them!

Olympic champion boxer Nicola Adams says she was told that "women can't box" when she started her career.

She revealed to Newsround that coaches she met didn't think she'd be able to box - but that she proved them all wrong.

Nicola won boxing gold at London 2012 and Rio 2016.

The smiley star spoke to Newsround for Women's Sport Week, a campaign to encourage more girls to get involved with sport.
