A longtime business representative of Laila Ali says the daughter of Muhammad Ali is focused on a grudge match — but not the one involving a potential fight against Claressa Shields.
Noble, Ali’s business representative, said Muhammad Ali’s daughter is focused on Food Network’s “Chef Grudge Match’ premiering Aug. 12. Laila Ali will host the show.
“We don’t have any comment for you at this time regarding the boxing matter,’’ Noble told USA TODAY Sports by text message. “However, when Laila has something to share very soon, the public will know.’
Shields, 30, is 17-0 with three knockouts. She defended her undisputed heavyweight title on July 27 with a victory over Lani Daniels by unanimous decision.
