Laila Ali always looked up to her father, Muhammad Ali, in every situation of life, whether inside the ring or outside of it. But she continues to find him in her son, Curtis Muhammad Conway Jr. A glance at him and she goes down memory lane. That’s not all. The former women’s boxing champion admires her son, who is turning out to be a daunting presence on the field because of his tall and heavy physique.

Ali, 46, who tied the knot with former NFL wide receiver Curtis Conway, has always bragged about their son on social media because of his uncanny resemblance to her father. She also once disclosed how her father used to light up watching his grandkids, especially Curtis, who allowed him to see in him a younger version of himself. The TV presenter once told ABC, “As he [Muhammad Ali] gets older, [he’s] struggling with his disease. But he lights up when he sees the kids, especially my son, who looks exactly like him. He loves that.”

Ali, at 24-0, turned to her Instagram handle and posted a clip of him sitting on a table as they visited the pediatrician. His dimension at 15 is enormous, and they had visited the office for a physical for his sports team. In addition, the former world champion is jubilant that her son doesn’t want to pick up a combat sport.

The caption on her Instagram post read, “My son is 15. Look how huge he looks in the pediatricians office getting a physical for his sports team. 🤣6’1 215lbs. Lookin’ just like an ALI!😍My father would have loved to see this boys face looking just like his. ♥️ I thank God he doesn’t want to fight…But if he did…Heavyweight…that would be…whew.”

It has been a routine for years now that Ali posts about her son and his stills on her handle drawing parallels with her father. While the two are the spitting image of each other, Ali doesn’t want Curtis Jr to take after his grandfather in one thing. What is that?

Laila Ali doesn’t want his son to emulate his grandfather, Muhammad Ali, in one aspect

The Florida native made it very clear that she didn’t want her son to venture into combat sports. She once told TMZ Sports, “I’d rather him play golf, baseball, or basketball if he’s going to play sports. I’m not going to force him into sports, I want him to do well in school.”

Although Ali has prevented Curtis from taking up boxing, it appears he’s already involved in sports, and it may not be long before we see another Ali name dominating in a different sport.
