Biography

As the daughter of Muhammad Ali, the legendary former heavyweight champion of the world, Laila Ali's name was instantly a focus in the world of boxing. She has proven that she is the best female boxer in the world, capturing four championship belts, earning the IBA, the WIBA, and the IWBF super middleweight championships.

In addition to her latest work as a cast member of NBC's highly touted reality program Stars Earn Stripes, where she competed to raise money for a charity that supports veterans and their children, Ali is currently the host of Everyday Health airing nationwide on ABC. She is a former contributing correspondent for CBS' The Early Show and was co-host of American Gladiators. She also authored and published a motivational book for young women titled Reach! (Hyperion, 2003). She has appeared in various cooking segments on the Food Network's Emeril and Rachael Ray, with recipes geared towards a healthy, active lifestyle. In 2007, she captured the hearts of millions and made it to the final round of the fourth season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

A speaker on women's health, Laila Ali is a true believer that in order to stay fit and good looking, you have to treat your body right by nourishing it with the right food, drink, exercise, and activity. She has always been a strong advocate of women's and girls' involvement in sports and athletics and is currently president of the Women's Sports Foundation, a nonprofit organization that promotes equality for women in the world of professional sports. Ali is also a major voice for the 40th anniversary of Title IX, which protects women's rights to be included and treated equally in collegiate sports.
