LONDON (AP) – Muhammad Ali’s daughters are in London to promote the U.K. release of the documentary “I Am Ali.” They say the former boxing champion is still waiting to see it for the first time.
Step-sisters Maryum and Hana Ali plan to visit their 72-year-old father in Arizona on their return from London and sit down to watch it with him – in silence.
“If you even speak when you watch anything to do with him, he’ll say ‘Shh,'” Hana said Tuesday with a smile.
“I Am Ali” mixes interviews with Ali’s family and inner circle, with archive footage and personal audio recordings. Maryum and Hana both feature, looking back at their childhood years with Ali.
“For me it was bittersweet,” Maryam said. “He was famous in boxing when I was a kid. I had to share him with the world, at the same time the world loved him. so we were able to receive the love.”
