History has presented us with plenty of examples of children of famous athletes who shined despite the towering legacies of their parents. One of the most famous instances is that of the daughter of Muhammad Ali, Laila Ali, who retired with 24 wins, including 21 knockouts and no losses. With a knockout-to-win percentage exceeding her father, she has walked in her father’s footsteps and continued his legacy.

Recently, another daughter of a famous boxer is making quite the headlines. This boxer in question is none other than Terence Crawford.

Viral moment for daughter of Terence Crawford

Recently, a video has surfaced where the youngest daughter of Crawford, Lay Lay, can be seen at the starting blocks with other competitors for a 200m race. However, the child loses her right shoe just as the gun goes off.

When Lay Lay realizes what had happened, she turns back to fetch her shoe. By the time she puts it on, her competitors already had a head start of nearly six seconds. But the situation changes as soon as she joins the race and makes an exceptional comeback.
