Muhammad Ali is one of the world's best known sportsmen ... instantly recognisable for his gift of the gab, as much as his fancy footwork and phantom punch. His life story transcends boxing and his ongoing struggle with Parkinson's disease raises troubling questions about boxing's safety.

When one of his daughters chose to box, she became a new reason for the media spotlight to focus on women and the sport.

Daughter of Muhammad Ali: Laila Ali is a champion of health and fitness.

Laila Ali, undefeated in her 21 professional fights and the first woman to win a World Boxing Council title, has followed in her father's footsteps, cementing her own legacy as one of the greatest female boxers. Like her father, Ali has quick feet, a stiff jab, and natural self-confidence.

Ali headlined the first ever women's professional boxing match in South Africa in 2007. These days, upcoming stars in female boxing, such as world super-middleweight boxing champion Natalia Ragozina, have named Ali as the number 1 opponent they dream to fight. But Ali is concerning herself with new projects.

"Dancing with the Stars" in 2007 attracted attention all over the U.S. and gave her a public platform. Passionate about children's health Ali has been a figurehead in anti-obesity campaigns, and promoting girls in sports. She has named her biggest accomplishment of late getting married to sports broadcaster and former NFL player Curtis Conway, and giving birth to their son, 'CJ.'

“Keeping up with the Kardashians” is the ultimate incarnation of reality-vision.

Expect melodrama, histrionics, shopping, partying, gossip, back-stabbing, and L.A. lifestyle to the max.

Last month a much anticipated wedding episode featured Khloe Kardashian’s wedding to Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom, pulled in 3.2 million viewers – a record rating for the E! entertainment network.
