When the Queen said she was a fan of her, Nicola Adams realized the extent of her trailblazing fame.The Olympic flyweight champion has planned to make the most of it, too, with feature roles in Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead on her agenda. After the small matter of the Rio Olympics and, possibly, Tokyo 2020, of course.It has been a whirlwind really, going to music award shows, movie premieres, TV shows, meeting the Queen, receiving my MBE in 2013, traveling halfway across the world with the [former] prime minister [David Cameron], Adams said.Its quite hard to put into words but I think Ive managed to stay grounded and keep the training going and winning medals.The one that came close to winning the Olympic gold medal was receiving my MBE from the Queen. She was saying good luck to me and wishing me continued support.She did say she was a big boxing fan and that she was looking forward to seeing me in Rio, so I guess I had to qualify. No pressure. On Her Majestys orders.The 33-year-old, who has been described as one of Britains most influential figures in the gay community, is not ruling out boxing at a third Olympics.Beyond the ring, the cheerful Adams admitted she wants to launch an acting career after parts as an extra in British soap operas before London 2012.Tokyo is on the cards, maybe turning professional as well, a bit of acting, but I need to get Rio done first, she said.Im thinking more The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones. And I dont just want cameos as Nicola Adams, I want to be the star. I used to do extra work on Coronation Street ?and Emmerdale and I wanted to take it further, but training got in the way.Flyweight gold at Rio 2016 would make Adams Britains first double Olympic boxing champion and that historic mark has been a significant motivation.She has already enjoyed becoming the first woman to win a Commonwealth Games boxing gold medal -- at Glasgow 2014 -- and last year won gold at the World Amateur Championships.Lofty post-boxing ambitions have not proved a distraction, and the Leeds-born Adams claimed she would arrive in the ring at the Rio Games in top shape.Ive improved since 2012, in everything, she said. My strength, my fitness, my technique, my speed.Thats the thing with boxing, youre never the finished article, there is always bits you can improve on, you can always be that much more rounded as a fighter technically, that little bit stronger or faster.At some point, time will be against me, [but] this is my peak, I feel as strong as I ever have. I won the Europeans this year, the World Championships this year, now I want to hopefully go on and win the Olympics.Its my passion, I love the sport and the thought that pretty much every time I step in the ring now, I make history, gives me that much more inspiration.To be able to complete the grand slam of titles, weve never had anybody in boxing do that before, male or female, so its nice to be able to go along and make some history and show everybody how great British boxing really is.
