Deep in concentration, Laila Ali fires multiple combinations at the pair of boxing mitts held by her trainer Floyd Mayweather inside the Las Vegas boxing gym.
It sounds like a machine gun firing bullets.
After Ali finishes her work out she sits down on the side of the ring to explain that following her next bout against Gwen O’Neil, in Africa on Feb. 3, she will be hanging up the boxing gloves. The super middleweight world champion plans to marry and have children.
“It’s something I’ve wanted to do. I’m 29,” said Ali, who is engaged to former NFL star receiver Curtis Conway. “
So what about Ann Wolfe, Leatitia Robinson and the others? Will any of them ever fight each other?
“I’ve tried many times to get them in the ring,” said Ali, who is fighting O’Neil for the second time after Leatitia Robinson pulled out. “If they don’t want to fight then that’s it.”
Since 2002 the milieu of female prizefighters has challenged Ali to a prizefight. But other than Christy Martin, who was much smaller, the other challengers have not come forth.
“In the beginning everyone wanted to fight me. I told them let me learn how to box first then we can meet,” says Ali, whose father is heavyweight great Muhammad Ali. “The girls I was beating my first year I was beating just on athletic ability.”
Aided by natural athleticism, Ali acquired instant boxing fame because of her father and the natural beauty that has made her a favorite of fashion magazines and other commercial ventures. She quickly became the most famous and marketable female prizefighter today.
A slew of boxing’s best trainers like Dub Huntley, Roger Mayweather and now Floyd have molded her into an undefeated fighting machine who has ventured between middleweight to light heavyweight using her speed, power and grit.
Other fighters have emerged to challenge Ali, but since 2000, when she faced Kendra Lenhart in a rousing slugfest, the real superfights have not emerged.
But one name remains on the lips of many people as the answer to Ali and her name is Ann Wolfe, the hard-hitting slugger from Texas."
the least she coulda did was announce her retirement
