What great boxers mother was referred to as Leila?

Question

One of the most famous women boxers is Laila Ali but what famous boxers mom was reffered to as Leila? I asked this about a month ago and no one guessed it the only answer I got was that this was Muhammad Ali's mom's name. Ali's moms name was Odessa. That is the only hint you get. It wasn't a family name. Good luck.

Answer 2
