Laila, good morning. Thank you for getting up so early. Thank you. Thanks for having me on. The world mourns for your dad, as i know you and the family do more deeply. Help us appreciate him from your perspective. Well, i mean, theres nothing i can say that hasnt already been said. You know, my dad was not only the best fighter ever but also such a great man and there will never be anyone else like him. And i think that, you know, anywhere you go in the world, people recognize him not only recognize him but also love him because of the man that he is, because he stood up for his beliefs. He fought for those that couldnt speak up for themselves, and hell truly be missed by all of us. Where do you think that confidence came from . I think thats something that just naturally comes from within and then people who are first of all, you have to have confidence and believe in yourself but then you have to work hard to prepare, and i always say my confidence comes from preparation. Its not something you just go around saying, oh, im going to win just because. You actually go and do the hard work when nobody is watching to make sure that you win to back it up. One of the wonderful things i read and heard over the weekend, when it was time to go, his heart wouldnt stop beating. Yeah, im not personally, myself, im not really comfortable talking about his last moments, but what i will share is that we were all there, all of his kids had the opportunity to come and be at his side when he passed on. Im happy that we had the opportunity to be there with him. And to say that do you think he was ready . I know the people that loved him werent ready, but do you feel he was ready . He fought parkinsons, probably his fiercest opponent, for so long. Its hard to say whether or not somebody is ready, but i do know i understand the circle of life and at some point we all have to pass away. Obviously im sad. Im going to miss my father. Of course. But ive been sad for a long time because my fathers been vug willing with parkinsons for a long time and he hasnt been who i himself for a long time. Im happy knowing hes no longer struggling, and thats what gives me comfort. So, again, im sad that hes not here. Im sad i cant hug him and kiss him and my daughter, sydney, who has a special relationship with him, doesnt quite understand yet that papa is gone to heaven. Hes not coming back. Im trying to explain that to her. Its a hard time. I feel like i have to be strong because, for one, i know no other way to be but at the same time i have children that i have to teach and this is just a part of life and obviously were all going through a lot and will miss him very much. He did not want you to box, laila ali. He was very concerned about that. What was his concern and how did you convince him . Well, obvious reasons, the same reasons i wouldnt want my kids to box. You know, he tried to talk me out of it indirectly. Obviously i did what i wanted to do and he knew i was going it to do what i wanted to do. He had so much respect for the fact that, you know, i did what i believed in just like he did. Im his youngest daughter. Im a girl. Youre pretty. Youre pretty. You look just like him. I guess he loved 240, too. With 21 knockouts. Lets be clear. Can you do the ali shuffle, laila . No, i never i never even tried because i knew in the beginning of my career when people if i start trying to be like my dad now, i will never be able to stop, so i went about my own career in my own way and i love my dad, i love him, but i love me, too. I wanted to do my own thing. Laila, thank you for joining us this morning. We appreciate it. I know its a very tough day for you and your family and all of us who love muhammad ali. Tharmgs aga thanks again. We appreciate it. Our special look continues. George foreman, Evander Holyfield and james brown of cbs sports will all be with us today ahead on cbs this morning.
