After 'Dancing With the Stars,' boxer Laila Ali is ready for the gloves to come off. Bring on the oven mitt! LAILA ALI I grew up around boxing, but my father didn't

1.
inspire me to become a boxer. Truth be told, he would rather I didn't box. But I wanted to stand on my own and be judged for my own accomplishments, separate from the incredible legacy he created as a boxer. I had my own salon in college, Laila's Nails: I was an

2.
entrepreneur, and I considered going to business school with the thought of expanding my salon into a national chain. It was around then that I saw women's boxing on television for the first time, and I was inspired. A year later, I decided to follow my heart and challenge myself to see if I could become a championship boxer. I made my pro-boxing debut in October 1999. I love the sport, but I knew from the beginning that I wanted to box for only a limited period of time. I was hopeful that I could reach my goal of becoming a world champion in that

3.
time frame. I've had some disappointments, though, as far as not being able to get some of the

4.
contenders to agree to fight me. Now that I’m getting married in July to my fiance, Curtis Conway, I am beginning to doubt whether such fights will happen before I transition to the next phase of my life and career. Additionally, while I haven't made an issue of this on "Dancing With the Stars," I have really bad knees - and I've only 29. They're at the point where I need surgery, and I've been praying every day on the show that they don't fail me. When the "Dancing With the Stars" producers approached me for this season, I thought it would be a lot of fun, since I was already a fan of the show. For one, it's a

5.
competition, so it brings out the competitor in me. But I also get the chance to be a

6.
glamorous woman. I knew the millions of viewers watching would see a different side of me. I expected the show to be a lot of work, but I didn't realize the dancing was going to be so complicated. We have only five days to learn a new dance - sometimes fewer due to other professional obligations - and those days go by so quickly. On top of that, as a woman I need to wear heels. After the first week, my feet were killing me, and my legs and knees were so sore! I enter every competition with the intention of winning, but, unlike boxing, I realize that there are a lot of factors beyond my control. Still, I have done my very best and have learned to dance like the pros, which should serve me well at my upcoming wedding. So what is next for me after the final round of the show? I've been offered a lot of things to do to help me

7.
transition from boxing: movies, modeling, etc. The one thing I know is that whatever I choose to do, I must be and will be passionate about it. And my

8.
passion? A healthy lifestyle, which includes

9.
fitness, nutritious cooking and a positive outlook on life. I want to follow in the footsteps of Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray. Yes, that's right: the boxer wants to be the next Martha Stewart. It has always been a dream of mine to have my own show, which could include cooking, fitness and other household components. In fact, I just came out with a fitness/cardio DVD with Sugar Ray Leonard. My show would feature healthy food with fresh

10.
ingredients that taste great. My family is from Louisiana, so I do home-style food with a healthy twist11! Anything unnecessary, like butter, I take out of the recipe.

12.
I taught myself how to cook when I was about 10. One of my favorite dishes is seafood

13.
gumbo. I grew up with my grandpa and grandma making it, but now everybody loves my gumbo the best: the texture of the meat, the shrimp, the flavor, the thickness. I could win a worldwide gumbo contest. Trust me. I also learned a lot about interior design from being around my mother, who went to design school. I decorated my own home and even some of my friends'homes. Anything is possible if you just put passion into it. OK, I know what you’re thinking. "Laila Ali, cooking?! Decorating?! Where did that come from?" But I don't worry about what people say. I never have. A lot of people are

14.
held back in life. They are worried about what other people think. But my dad, who's now 65, inspired me to have

15.
confidence and do whatever it is that makes me happy. That's the greatest thing one could have: self-love. I didn't grow up saying I wanted to be like my dad. But I can't help it: in a lot of ways I'm a lot like my father, Muhammad Ali.

■Talk About It
■ What was Laila Ali's profession before boxing? (필자는 복싱을 하기 전에 무슨 일을 했나?)
■ What inspired Laila to begin boxing? (왜 복싱을 시작하게 됐나?)
■ Who is Laila's father? (필자의 아버지는 누구인가?)
■ What physical problem has Laila been facing while dancing? (‘스타와 함께 춤을’ 프로그램에 출연했을 때 몸에 어떤 이상이 있었나?)
■ What does Laila hope to do following the end of "Dancing With the Stars"? (그 프로그램이 끝나면 필자는 무엇을 하고 싶어 하나?)
■ What delicacy is Laila best at cooking? (필자가 가장 자신 있는 요리는?)
■ What kind of lifestyle does Laila strive for? (필자는 어떤 생활방식을 추구하나?)

■Work It Out
Laila's father, Ali Muhammad, is a world renowned boxer and three time winner of the World Heavyweight champion. Considering Laila's feelings towards her father, his career, and their relationship, what influence do you believe Ali has had on Laila's boxing and other areas of her life? (필자의 아버지 무하마드 알리는 세계적으로 유명한 복서이자 세계 헤비급 챔피언에 세 차례나 올랐다. 아버지와 아버지가 이룬 업적, 아버지와의 관계에서 느끼는 필자의 감정을 생각할 때 아버지 알리는 필자의 복싱계 진출을 포함해 지금까지의 삶에 어떤 영향을 미쳤다고 생각하나?)

Laila's life entails many career changes - from salon-owner and entrepreneur, to a world-famous boxer, to a dancer on a hit TV series, and now hopefully to the host of a Martha Steward-like television show. What do her many transitions indicate to you about life in America? How does it compare to your own? (필자는 직업을 많이 바꿨다. 미용실 주인에서 기업가로, 복서로, 인기 TV 프로그램의 댄서로, 그리고 이제는 살림 전문가 마사 스튜어트 같은 TV 쇼 진행자가 되려 한다. 그런 여러 차례의 변신은 미국이라는 나라에서 사는 게 어떠하다는 점을 말해주나? 한국의 사정과 어떻게 다른가?)
