Muhammad Ali has passed away due to respiratory issues after battling Parkinson's Disease for over three decades.
Some of his children have followed in his footsteps, others have stayed out of the limelight and there are a few who have been the results of affairs. While Ali has 9 children, there is a possibility he actually has 10.
A woman named Kiiursti Mensah Ali has claimed to have proof in a paternity test, telling The Mirror that she is Muhammad Ali's daughter. Mensah said that Ali met her mother Barbara when Barbara was just 17 years old and the time line would mean Ali cheated on his second wife Belinda Boyd, with Barbara.
If this is true, this would not be the first time that Ali cheated on Boyd, who now goes by the name Khalilah. Mensah has said that Ali used to visit her growing up and that he acknowledged her as his daughter, even okaying his name on her birth certificate.
However, Mensah says the communication with Ali stopped when his wife Lonnie allegedly cut her out of Ali's life. Mensah stated: Muhammad Ali is my dad – but everything changed the moment he married her. He stopped coming to see me.
As the years went by he got sicker and sicker. She stopped him having a relationship with me. It’s been devastating. Ali's having a love child is not unbelievable as two of his other children (Miya and Khaliah) are the results of affairs.

Khaliah Ali
Khaliah Ali wrote a book titled "Butterflies and Bees: A Woman's Search for Her Father" and it discusses her mother's affair with Muhammad Ali. She said that her mother Wanda Bolton started a relationship with Ali when she was a teenager. Khaliah also talks about her mother and Ali getting married in an Islamic ceremony, but said their marriage was never legal. She also noted that her mom then changed her name from Wanda Bolton to Aaisha Ali. Khaliah stated that: "When I was a toddler we lived for a while in Deer Lake [Ali's Pennsylvania training camp] in a cabin right next door to the one occupied by Belinda [who changed her name to Khalilah] and her children. My mother and Belinda actually became quite close and cared for each other's children."
