Did Laila Ali Retire?

Laila Amaria Ali, born December 30, 1977, in Miami Beach, Florida, is an American television personality and retired professional boxer who competed from 1999 to 2007. She is the daughter of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali and his third wife, Veronica Porché. Despite her father's initial disapproval due to his Muslim faith, Laila began boxing at age 18 after watching a Christy Martin fight. Her debut bout on October 8, 1999, received significant attention due to her famous lineage. Throughout her career, she held the WBC, WIBA, IWBF, and IBA female super middleweight titles, as well as the IWBF light heavyweight title. Ali retired undefeated with a record of 24-0, with 21 wins by knockout. Her most notable fight was against Jacqui Frazier-Lyde (daughter of Joe Frazier) in 2001, dubbed "Ali-Frazier IV" in reference to her father's trilogy with Joe Frazier. Following her boxing career, Ali has enjoyed success as a television personality, appearing on Dancing with the Stars, hosting American Gladiators, and working as a regular contributor on shows like CBS's Early Show. Since 2017, she has hosted Home Made Simple on the Oprah Winfrey Network. In her personal life, Ali married former NFL player Curtis Conway in 2007, and they have two children together.
