Boxer Laila Ali wants her unborn child to be a “serious” athlete and not a dancer.Although she dabbled in a little dancing on  ABC’s television show “Dancing With the Stars,” Laila Ali admits that she would rather that her unborn son be an athlete than a dancer.
VIA OK!:

“I want him to be an athlete,” Laila tells OK!. “I did Dancing with the Stars, but my life doesn’t revolve around it. I think that when I say athlete, I mean a serious athlete.”

Perhaps American Gladiatorswill be a better fit for little Curtis. Laila co-hosts the NBC revival of the 1990s classic and can’t dream up a more perfect gig for herself.

“It’s a competitive show with a live audience that brings a lot of energy, and it’s what I’m used to,” she explains. “It was perfect for me, and I’m having a really great time with [co-host] Hulk [Hogan].”

While most women like to take it easy during their pregnancy, the 30-year-old spent it working on season two of Gladiators, which is fine with her as her first trimester was a breeze.

“I’m so blessed,” she says. “I’ve heard so many horror stories, but I don’t have any morning sickness, nausea or cravings.”

But there is one thing she has to fight off on set – the desserts!

“It’s a little harder because there are five different kind of desserts a day, but that’s hard for anybody.”
