Alicia Ashley

Alicia Ashley (born August 23, 1967) is a women's boxing participant who is a former world Super Bantamweight champion. Ashley is a Jamaican-American. Born in Jamaica, she moved to the United States at a young age.

Ashley began her professional boxing career on January 29, 1999, defeating Lisa Howarth by a six round split decision, at Atlantic City, New Jersey. On her second professional boxing fight, held at Halifax, Canada, she suffered her first defeat, when she was outpointed over six rounds by Doris Hackl on June 20 of that year.

Ashley rebounded from that defeat with an eight round decision win over Bonnie Canino June 27, at Tunica, Missisippi .

After her first three fights, she took a seven month hiatus from boxing, but on February 11, 2000, she returned, losing by an eight round decision to Mexico's Laura Serrano, also in Tunica. After splitting her two next fights, she met "Downtown Leona Brown": on June 29, she beat Brown on points over eight rounds at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Next, she fought Kelsey Jeffries , who, until that bout had lost only one of her nine fights. On September 3, Ashley beat Jeffries by a six round unanimous decision in Nevada.

Ashley had only one fight in 2001, a decision victory, and then, on January 13, 2002, she made her Las Vegas debut, drawing (tying) in six rounds with Layla McCarter .

Her next fight, fought on February 23 of that year, was also her first world title try, when she and Jeffries were rematched with the vacant IWBF world Featherweight title on the line. Ashley became a world champion by defeating Jeffries once again, this time by a ten round split decision, at New Jersey.

Ashley lost her next fight, when she met the experienced Chevelle Hallback, for Hallback's WIBA world Jr. Lightweight title, by a ten round unanimous decision, in Georgia on August 27.

Ashley then went down in weight, returning to the Super Bantamweight division. On November 15, she defeated Marcela Acuna by a ten round split decision in Cordoba, Argentina, to win the WIBF's vacant world Super Bantamweight title. But this decision win was controversial (the fight was scored 96-94 by two judges for Ashley, and 97-95 by the third for Acuna), and the WIBF ordered an immediate rematch between the two women fighters. On June 14, 2003, she and Acuna met again, this time at Buenos Aires. The second time around, Ashley retained the title with a ten round unanimous decision.

On November 15, she lost her title to Esther Schouten by a ten round split decision in Austria.

Her next was against Shondell Alfred, on March 27 of 2004, in Guyana. She defeated Alfred by an eight round decision.

After a hiatus that lasted almost one year, Ashley returned to boxing on March 3, 2005. when she knocked out Elena Reid in seven rounds, at Laughlin.

It shall be pointed out that, as of early 2005, Ashley has never lost a fight by knockout.

Her record stands at 11 wins and 5 losses, with one win by knockout.
