In the world of boxing , the name Ali is revered. Many consider Muhammad Ali the greatest boxer of all time. So when daughter Laila Ali decided to take up the sport in , she did so with great trepidation. Expectations were sky-high on the name alone. Ali lived up to the billing going undefeated with a record over her seven-plus year career. Since retiring in , Ali has found success outside of the ring in multiple business ventures. What is Laila Ali doing today, and what is her net worth?
Undeterred, she moved forward with her plan. Ali also said that this mega clash would require a promoter who understands that "this fight could be bigger and transcend boxing. It didn't take long for Shields to catch wind of Ali's comments and tweet a response Friday.
On God sis! Laila may think that she's big and bad and all that stuff, but when it comes to boxing, there is no woman on this earth that can beat me. She said she's pounds right now. I'm not going to lose. Look — when I beat her, they're going to say that I fought an old Laila Ali. They're not going to say that I beat Laila Ali when she was at her best. But overall, the way she's talking if she's like she's going to knock me out, please It's flattering.
You look up to my father [the late Muhammad Ali]. We both thought that was cute. That was sweet. But at the same time—first of all, she could never beat me. Let me just get that really straight right now.
Let's get that straight right now. We're not even in the same weight class. I know that she walked around heavier, but that would not happen. You're talented. You can box. You can throw those hard punches, but there's a sweet science to boxing. The reason why you have not been able to knock out the opponents that you've already faced, I can totally see why.
