Ashley tells Awakening, “I first started training boxing when I was 15, it would have been 2002. My mom encouraged me to get involved with it to help because I was getting into bit of trouble back then and needed a focus, discipline, and a change of lifestyle. And now, combat sports such as boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai and BJJ was most definitely the change I needed. And seeing women, champions, and coaches succeed in the sport was the spark I needed to help inspire what is now my lifestyle. I love to train everyday!”

Ashley Nichols’ Bio

Ashley Nichols (b. August 19, 1986, d. February 13, 2024) was a female fighter and martial artist from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

She was a CASK Level 1 Certified Coach, and also a WMF Certified Judge and Referee.

Ashley led the Ladies Fight Fitness class at MAS, which is run as a regular Muay Thai class but in an all women’s environment.

She signed with Invicta Fighting Championships in August of 2017.

Personal Life

Ashley was extremely proud of her heritage as a woman from the Indigenous Peoples of Canada: Chippewas of the Thames First Nation and Oneida Nation.

"Throughout her life she touches many souls deeply in her friendship circles and within the fight community. She was a true gem and the hole she has left cannot be filled. We considered her a friend here at Awakening Fighters, we mutually supported each other over a decade, and she will never be forgotten!" Rew Mitchell

On February 13th, after struggling with her inner-demons, she took her own life. The majority of people have struggles, and there should be no shade at all with Ashley's passing. Rest In Peace you absolute legend!
