Laila Ali, born Laila Amaria Ali on December 30, 1977, in Miami Beach, Florida, is an American retired professional boxer and television personality, the daughter of Muhammad Ali and Veronica Porché Ali. She earned a business degree from Santa Monica College and owned a nail salon before turning to boxing, against her father's initial wishes. Ali made her professional debut in October 1999 with a first-round knockout and built the defining women's boxing career of her era: in June 2001 she defeated Jacqui Frazier-Lyde, Joe Frazier's daughter, in the first pay-per-view event headlined by women; she won the IBA super middleweight title in 2002, added the WIBA and IWBF super middleweight titles, the IWBF light heavyweight title in 2004, and the WBC super middleweight title in 2005. She retired in 2007 undefeated at 24 wins, no losses, with 21 knockouts, and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2021. Her second career in television includes hosting and competing across lifestyle, cooking, and sports programming.
