After defeating the previously undefeated Christina McMahon for the WBC women’s Super Bantamweight title last October, the now two-time champion, Alicia Ashley surpassed her own record in the Guiness Book of world records (and boxing history) as the oldest woman to win a world title.

Ashley first set the record at age 43, when she snatched the title from Christina Ruiz in 2011.
