Nuneaton’s Ashlee Eales has his eye on titles as his fight is changed to Planet Ice on June 10th. The twenty eight year old Southpaw has an impressive unbeaten record winning all seven of his contests to date. Eales made his professional debut back in October of 2019 beating veteran journeyman Kevin Mcauley in a four round contest. Eales last fight was at the Sports Connexion Coventry where he stopped Craig Summer in the first round in November of last year.
I managed to catch up with the talented Super welterweight and asked him if the switch in venue and date had affected him. He told me “To be honest it’s a little frustrating because I was looking forward to fighting on my birthday, but at least I get to chill and spend time with my family now”. He then talked to me about his training for this fight. He told me “This camp has been a hard one both physically and mentally, we’re doing a six rounder now which initially was supposed to be 8, but because of issues with opponents and other issues that I will speak about after the fight, we’ve come down to six and are just excited to just put on another clinical performance”.
We then chatted about his future aspirations if he wins this fight. He told the Column “We’re definitely looking for titles after this fight, weather we have a bit of time off with the family and have to do a eight or ten rounder first that’s down for my coach and manager to decide”. Eales continued ‘But the Midlands, English, British or European level we know we are miles ahead skill wise, all we need to do is get the rounds in, get the fitness and conditioning up and we’ll take over this game completely”.
Eales finished by saying “I’m not willing to lose a fight to a lesser opponent because I’m not ready. I’m gonna make sure I’m ready for when that call comes. After this fight people will see the sacrifices I make, the risks I take and getting them belts will be a piece of cake”.
Dexter’s Thoughts
The Planet Ice show has just added another Hot prospect to the card with Eales joining the fold. I honestly can’t wait for this show, it's hard to remember there being so much talent on one a small hall show. Eales is a talented boxer with skills to pay the bills and in my opinion is destined to contend for major title. This is going to be a great show and Eales being added to card just makes it better.
