Adams is already a hugely popular household name back in Britain because of her engaging personality and seemingly habitual smile, and will face pressure to again defend her title in Tokyo in four years’ time, when she will be 37.
“I'm going to take some time out for now, I'm going to go on holiday, relax a little bit and decide what I'm going to do when I come back,” said Adams.
The Briton, who once had to supplement her meagre boxing earnings by acting as an extra in soap operas, added: “It feels absolutely amazing, especially to be able to think to myself I've created history. I'm now the most accomplished British amateur boxer we've ever had, of all time. I've had a massive amount of support from Yorkshire.
