I don’t know why I choose to express myself through Boxing. fighting is crazy.i know that, if everything was completely my way , I would have probably choose something else. But boxing is my calling, and what I feel is that we all gonna die someday.so I might as well do what I want to do while I’m here.
“People talk about this advantages I’ be had in boxing because I am Muhammad Ali’s daughter, Obviously, in a lot of ways, my name helps, but there are disadvantages too”.
It was hard starting out with so much attention on me when I first got in the ring,a lot of people took it as a joke, Most fighters get to learn with no one watching. If you’d see my father in the ring when he was twelve, he wouldn’t have looked much either.
I don’t like the Celebrity side of it. Being famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Everyone wants Something from you and don’t know who to trust, But I’ve never wished that I wasn’t Muhammad Ali’s daughter knowing that his blood runs through my veins is very special to me- Laila Ali.
