Legendary Alicia Ashley retires\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Former world champion Alicia Ashley has officially announced her retirement from professional boxing.<\/p>\n

When aged\u00a048, Alicia became the oldest boxer to win a world title, capturing the female WBC Super Bantamweight belt. This was on October 29, 2015 \u00a0by defeating Christina McMahon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alicia Ashley was credited by the Guinness Record for being the longest reigning active champion and the oldest champion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In an interview with the Half Star Sports, Alicia Ashley mentioned that her retirement had already taken place some months before, \u00a0but that the time had come to make it official.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I’ve actually been retired for months, but now I make it official. My last fight was on March 18 of last year in Denmark. And now I’m telling you, I’m officially retired from boxing. I love this sport and I will always be involved in it. I will continue as a coach, because my goal is to help a new world champion, regardless of gender.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Although I have lived in New York for a long time, I recognize myself 100% from Jamaica. I always fought with the colors of my flag. \u00a0I love my land and the only remorse I have is that I could never fight there.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alicia’s path in the sport is far from over, as she’s now focused on working as a boxer trainer in China, in a gym called Zou 1 Boxing and Fitness Club, in Shanghai, owned by the former Olympic and world champion Zou Shiming.<\/p>\n
