Jackie Frazier played basketball before boxing and was One of AU’s top all-time scorer. Their first female basketball player to reach the 1,000-points and ranked 12th on AU’s all-time scoring list with 1,106 points.
She averaged 12.7 points per game in her career and registered 72 steals during the 1981-82 season, which was second-best ever at AU at the time.

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!

Nope it was actually Ad Wolgast. Guy had elevated boots ffs! They designed them special with old tires, even had to add ropes to the ring so the little fooker didn't tumble under the bottom rope. Named one of his best punches the 'Kangaroo clanger' as he'd time the right hand and take a running start with it just to land clean! Unheard of.
Ok I'm full of shat you got it. Good call man

A Trophy would be named after this fighter. The 1st contested bout ended in a draw.
Who fought for it and what fighter was the trophy named after?

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
