Laila Ali (1977 - )
American television personality and retired professional boxer;
she competed from 1999 to 2007 and retired undefeated
after holding several female super middleweight
and light heavyweight titles;
her father Muhammad Ali opposed her choice of career
but supported her decision eventually.
She kept her looks, as he did! He used to describe his as the prettiest face in boxing! I remember his worrying about her choice of sport. But when she kept winning, he did come around.
ReplyDeleteI'm forever impressed with her.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm forever impressed with someone who can actually fight, so there's that.
