Muhammad Alimay have left this world in 2016, but the legend’s charisma still electrifies fans everywhere. His daughters, especially, carry the torch of his unforgettable legacy, reminding us all of the man who transcended boxing. Just recently, Maryum Ali gave a shoutout to her sister Miya Ali for digging up a 45-year-old treasure-a clip of ‘The Greatest’ himself, dishing out some classic humor on Good Morning America.

It all went down in 1980, just after Ali’s monumental bout with Larry Holmes. Ali was a guest on the show, and guess who was lined up right after him? None other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. When the host, David Hartman, announced Schwarzenegger’s upcoming segment, Ali couldn’t resist adding his unique flavor to the moment.

In true Ali fashion, he playfully butchered Schwarzenegger’s name, twisting it into something that left Hartman in a flustered panic. Hartman, trying to keep his cool, insisted, “I didn’t say that, you did!” But Ali, never one to back down, kept the jabs coming, much to the delight of the studio audience who were in stitches over the entire exchange.

That moment on live TV became one for the history books, showcasing Ali’s quick wit and unmatchable charm. Even after hanging up his gloves a year later, Ali remained a larger-than-life figure, constantly reminding fans that he was as lively as ever. His passing in 2016 due to septic shock was a blow, but moments like this one keep his spirit alive.

Fast forward to today, and that golden clip is making the rounds once more. Maryum Ali couldn’t help but share her joy on Instagram, thanking her sister Miya for the throwback. “Thanks for the laughs this morning, Dad… Thanks for sending this Sis @miya_mia_ali,” she wrote. While everyone knows Maryum and Miya, Ali’s other seven children remain an intriguing part of his legacy.

So, who are Muhammad Ali’s nine children, and where are they now? Maryum, his firstborn, is dedicated to social work and authorship, while twins Jamillah and Rasheda have carved their own paths-Rasheda often speaking publicly about their father. Then there’s Muhammad Ali Jr., who has faced his share of struggles but still honors his father’s name.

 Hana Ali, another of his daughters, keeps her dad’s memory alive through her writing. Laila, perhaps the most famous of the siblings, made her mark in the boxing ring, carrying on her father’s fighting spirit. As for Asaad, Ali’s youngest, adopted with his fourth wife Lonnie, he lives a quiet life, far from the limelight.

Even from the grave, Muhammad Ali continues to bring smiles, proving that his humor and charm are just as enduring as his boxing prowess. That clip was more than just a laugh; it was a reminder of the joy Ali brought to those around him. What did you think of the throwback moment?
