The {pz_填空}(51) of his illness as Parkinson’s disease after his retirement fuelled the debate about the dangers of boxing and criticism {pz_填空}(52) the sport. That, plus his outspoken opposition {pz_填空}(53) women’s boxing, made people wonder how he would react when one of his daughters decided to {pz_填空}(54) up the sport. His presence at Laila’s first professional fight, however, seemed to broadcast a fathers support. Of course Muhammad Ali wanted to {pz_填空}(55) his daughter fight. The ring announcer introduced him as the “ the greatest” and as he sat down at the ringside the crowd chanted.
