| Laila Ali, the daughter of Mohammed Ali, had her first fight on October 8, 1999 and she didn’t let the press video this event. On the contrary, the combination of the facts that, at the time she had no experience, she hadn’t fought as an amateur and her father attended the match gave her a lot of publicity. Although she won to an “easy” opponent, she promised after her win that she would make her father proud. Since that day, she has become a multi-World Champion as a Super-Middleweight for the IBA, WIBA, IWBF, and she has defended her IBA title a couple of times with absolute success. |
