Featherweight boxer Ramla Ali is set to make history once again.
As a result, Ali and her family escaped to the United Kingdom as refugees.
Growing up in East London, Ali eventually found a love for boxing.
“For me boxing was my friend,” she told Sky Sports.
Ali soon caught the attention of British royalty because of her talent.
In 2019,Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, guest edited the September cover ofVogue.
However, when Markle initially called Ali, the athlete ignored it as she didn’t recognize the number.
Ali isn’t just the Duchess of Sussex’s “favorite boxer” (viaBBC Sport).
She is fully aware of her impact on aspiring young girls.
“My experience are lived .
I chose to continue to pursue sport because it’s who I am .
I want to give my life purpose through both inspiration and what I can do for others.”
