Muhammad Ali's daughter, Hana Ali, recently shared her life experiences and what it was like growing up with the legendary boxer in the new documentary dubbed as, 'I Am Ali.'

Hana said that when she was 17 and stated driving, her father gave a picture of him to keep in a car where people can see it, so if she gets pulled over she'll get out of a ticket because she was Muhammad Ali's daughter, News.com.au reported.

She also mentioned that her earliest memory of her father was running through the airport with him trying to catch a plane and seeing crowds everywhere, cheering and clapping loudly and at that moment she realised her father was famous.

Hana recalls that she was raised a Muslim, but 'The Louisville Lip' taught them that all religions had truth and that the only true religion was the religion of the heart and made them a better person.

She further continued that the 72-year-old former professional boxer is a poet and was the first rapper, although he didn't rap all the time, but he rhymed a lot.

She just loves having his blood running through my veins. And she tells him all the time that he's going to go down in history as the eighth Wonder of the World.
