Laila’s decision to start boxing despite her father’s______【63】with the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease has of course sparked a mixture of praise and______【64】. But Laila is a determined individual and it is her famous last name that has made her a magnet for worldwide media attention, Of course, the______【65】on the boxing scene of a woman with her family history attracts even more questions about whether women’s boxing is sport or spectacle.
