Claressa is saying that Laila Ali felt threatened by her and she’s also saying Laila is envious of her. By this time, Laila has retired from boxing. She knows Laila is not going to come out of retirement. That doesn’t mean Laila can’t prove her wrong. But why should Laila come out of retirement just to do that? If she does, she’ll be back into boxing, and that’s not what Laila wants to do. Laila still hits the punching bag and is staying healthy. She has gone on to do other things. I’m going to leave it as that. But there is one thing I do know for a fact. It didn’t matter to Laila when she was boxing whether you knew mix martial arts. Boxing is just boxing all by itself, and you had to do just that. Girls got in the ring thinking that they could beat Laila, and they couldn’t prove themselves.

🗣️ "MUHAMMAD ALI IS THE GREATEST, LAILA ALI'S JUST HIS DAUGHTER"

🥊 @Claressashields says @TheRealLailaAli is "envious" of her, but hopes she comes out of retirement to face her & vows it'll be a "big mistake"
