Adams had expressed frustration at the two-minute rounds in her professional debut win over Argentina’s Virginia Carcamo.

She said: “I have two minutes to find my rhythm, distance and take out my opponent. It’s not enough time.

“I found by the end of the rounds, I needed a couple more seconds and it would be over.
