 WIBA Super Middleweight champion Laila Ali has prepared for her June 11 title defense against Erin Toughill at MCI Center in Washington, DC. Ali (20-0, 17 KO's) has won her last nine bouts by knockout.

Following her last workout, a confident Ali told reporters that this bout 'is just another day at the office.'

The Ali-Toughill match-up is one of three bouts on the Showtime Pay-Per-View telecast beginning at 9 PM ET. Mike Tyson battles Kevin McBride and Chris Smith defends his NABA Welterweight title against former WBA and IBF Super Lightweight champion Sharmba Mitchell.

Laila Ali Quotes: 
  • I know you believe she can beat me.  I'm gonna break her ass off and hand it to her.

  • I don't like this girl.   She don't like me.
  • Bottom line, I haven't lost a fight or come close.
  • I'm going to send her home the same way I sent the rest of them.
 
Erin Toughill:
  • -Some of you may have never heard of me but come June 11...you will...
  • Women's boxing is in obscurity.  Hopefully being on this card will change that.
