Their youngest daughter,Laila Ali , is a professional boxer.Prior to meeting Ali, she spelled her last name Porche. As her fame grew, and she began to have contact with reporters and other media, she began to tell them that her name was spelled "like the sports car". This, of course, led to people spelling her name — Porsche — like the sports car. Her name appears on documents using both spellings. Reportedly, she favors the style and sophistication of the Porsche spelling; and for that particular reason, she sometimes uses the spelling "Verónica" for her first name.
She had some limited experience as an
