Ali talked about being unaware early on that she could have a career in boxing and how her dad tried to talk her out of competing.

“I’m a lot like my father,” says Ali, whose dad passed away two years ago today. “We bumped heads a lot.”

Ali also talked about motherhood, fitness and a number of other subjects.
