Adams and other family members were at home at the time but were not aware of the break-in. Burglars took two cars, training kit and valuable personal possessions.
Adams had been due to contest the women's 51kg flyweight division including a prospective final showdown against her Great Britain rival Lisa Whiteside.
Adams had been due to fight on Saturday in what would have been her first fight in England since her gold medal triumph at London 2012.
