NICOLA ADAMS has compared herself to pound-for-pound king Vasyl Lomachenko in her quest for world titles.

The Leeds boxer stunned in her hometown on the undercard of Josh Warrington's sensational capture of his own world title.

Adams, a two-time Olympic champion, secured a first round stoppage of the experienced Soledad del Valle Frias , leaving her opponent crumpled in her own corner.

And the 35-year-old is adamant she is there to win all the belts at super flyweight level and make a similar impact to that of Lomachenko in the men's game.

The Ukrainian, like Adams, is a two-time Olympic gold medal winner, and won his first pro world title in just his third fight at featherweight.

He then became a two-weight champ at super-featherweight in his seventh bout, before incredibly KO'ing Jorge Linares in his 12th to win the super world lightweight belt.

Speaking in her dressing room after her stunning success at Elland Road, Adams said: “It wasn’t that it was easy, it’s that I’m another level, I’m a world class operator.
