Laila Ali Seemingly Responds To Claressa Shields' Latest Callout

Ali's comment does not give any semblance of an answer. The former two-division champion previously said that she would not entertain an offer unless it was for "$15 or $20 million," to which Shields responded with a $15 million offer.

Ali, who has not fought since 2007, has shown no interest in returning to the ring since her last fight in the sport. She was just 29 when she finished Gwendolyn O'Neil in the first round and removed her gloves for the final time, causing many fans to believe she would eventually return.

However, 18 years later, Ali has done nothing but insist that she did everything she wished to accomplish in the ring.

As the daughter of the most influential fighter in boxing history, Ali is also arguably the greatest women's boxer of all time. That status is the main intrigue behind the Shields matchup, whom many also consider to be the most accomplished female boxer in the sport's history.

Laila Ali's successful post-boxing career

Ali had tremendous expectations when she made her professional debut and safely exceeded each of them. She essentially capped off the perfect career every boxer dreams of by becoming a multi-time world champion and all-time great before retiring at a young age.

Since hanging up her gloves, Ali has remained in the spotlight through different paths. She dabbled in a brief modeling career, but found her true passion in television. Ali continues to accept sporadic acting roles, but primarily works as an on-air personality and show host.

In addition to her upcoming Food Network program, Ali is the host of 'Home Made Simple,' a home makeover show on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Given her current age and professional success, fans find it difficult to envision a return from Ali in 2025. Yet, with a 46-year-old Manny Pacquiao recently returning to face WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios, nothing can be entirely ruled out.
