BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! About Laila Ali While Laila has undoubtedly been the major draw in women’s boxing for years, she recently took on a new challenge, strutting her stuff in front of nearly 40 million people every week on ABC’s hit show, Dancing With The Stars. A glamorous and elegant Laila surprised everyone and charged into the finals. Not only did her grace and tremendous athletic ability translate well to the dance floor, but it gave the public a wonderful opportunity to view a side of Laila to which they had never been exposed. Viewers were able to get a sense of her humor, her feminism, her genuineness, and her beauty. Laila got dressed up one more time this summer, as she married former NFL star, Curtis Conway, on July 22nd. |
