I don’t understand why young boxers always wanna challenge old retired people. Where’s the stripes in that? Ali said she would think about it for that 15mil, she never committed. That’s just my 2 cents I don’t even watch boxing 🤣
Well according to Ms ye she felt as tho Ali was ducking shields
💙
Why do young fighters always wanna call out the older retured fighters lol…laila approaching 50 and im sure hasnt been training consistently in years….while clarissa a fresh 30 and has been training consistently for several recent years.
👀
Laila just tryna stay relevant, she hasn’t fought in 20+ so it’s a whole generation that never seen her . She should just be spokesperson and help other female boxers get a bigger platform rather than stirring the pot for no reason
Y’all go for anything this is a set up just like Mike Tyson fight
$15M on the table? Laila Ali coming in hot with that response—this showdown’s about to be 🔥🔥 Who else is ready for the ultimate boxing throwdown?
I love Laila as much as I do Claressa, but Claressa is gonna put them paws on her if this happens 😂
What y’all having for lunch today
