That, plus his outspoken opposition______【53】women’s boxing, made people wonder how he would react when one of his daughters decided to______【54】up the sport. His presence at Laila’s first professional fight, however, seemed to broadcast a father’s support. Of course Muhammad Ali wanted to ______【55】his daughter fight. The ring announcer introduced him as the "the greatest" and as he sat down at the ringside the crowd chanted.

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.
