She was their second child and is the most famous of the nine children born to Muhammad Ali. Laila has a degree in business from Santa Monica college and previously owned a nail salon in California before becoming a boxer. To much fanfare, she made her debut on October 8, 1999, knocking out April Fowler in the first round. She rallied off 8 wins in a row, and many among boxing's fans started talking about wanting to see her and George Foreman's daughter, Freeda Foreman, or Joe Frazier's daughter, Jackie Frazier-Lyde square off in a boxing ring. On the evening of June 8, 2001, Ali and Frazier finally met, in a fight that became the first time a women's boxing fight was the main event of a Pay Per View event in history, a fight which was also nicknamed Ali/Frazier IV in allusion to their fathers' famous fight trilogy, and a fight which was part of the International Boxing Hall Of Fame induction weekend's activities. Ali won by judge's decision.Ali is currently 24-0 as a boxer. Presented here is an original, on site boxer to her debut as a fighter and is signed by Laila Ali.
