Ali’s self-help book which documents her inspiring story was released last year, while Bafta award-winning producer Lee Magiday is set to make a film about her life.
Her modelling career has reached great heights, and she is a brand ambassador for high-end fashion labels.
Ramla does not feel the numerous vocations are a distraction to her boxing career. To the contrary, she says the modelling work benefits world-title aspirations.
“Let’s be honest, women don’t get paid nearly enough to be full-time athletes, and because I do this other stuff it allows me to be a full-time athlete,” she says.
“It allows me to train full-time. It gives me the opportunity to move myself and base myself out of Los Angeles, to work with world-class coaches.
“Modelling, the fashion world, is so incredibly supportive. There will be times where as a boxer I’m not always on weight. My weight is fluctuating and I’ll turn up to a shoot not being able to fit into something.
“They’re so accommodating. If something doesn’t fit they will find something else that does, or if I’m not comfortable wearing something they’ll find something I am comfortable with.”
Ali stresses that boxing will always be her priority and biggest passion, but there is no suggestion of slowing down the work-rate.
“I jokingly said to a friend ages ago that I want my face to be everywhere – that people get sick of it,” she says.
“And that is probably the dream. To have done so much, not only in the ring but out the ring, that people say ‘oh my God, not her again’.”
The feature-length biopic may need a sequel.
