Haven't found any footage yet.
And how she got her nickname? She invited Ali to speak at a youth center, to which he obliged. As soon as Jackie introduced herself, she said Ali stood in silence for a moment, smiled and said, WOW, Sister Smoke!
Laila Ali's daddy gave Jackie her boxing name!
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
