NEW YORK -- Ali-Frazier IV?

Jacqui Frazier Lyde, the daughter of former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier, has decided to become a professional boxer and wants to fight against Muhammad Ali's daughter, Laila, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

"It would be a great draw," Lyde told the newspaper. "It would establish Laila financially, and then I would establish her horizontally."

Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier fought three times in the 1970s, with Ali winning twice -- including the famous "Thrilla in Manila" fight in October 1975.

Lyde, 38, said she decided to enter the ring after watching the 21-year-old Ali's debut in October.

"A reporter asked me how I thought I would measure up to Laila," Lyde said. "It just came out: 'Oh, I could whip her butt.' Since that day I've been training two hours a day, every day, at my dad's gym."

Lyde, who has a private law practice, said her first fight is scheduled for April 22 in Beijing against an undetermined opponent.

Ali, 3-0 with three knockouts, wouldn't comment on Lyde's challenge.

"We're not addressing it until Jacqui Frazier is a professional fighter," said John McClain, Ali's trainer. "Let her get in the ring and become a professional. Then we'll deal with it."

The two daughters also are not necessarily compatible in the ring. Ali is 5-foot-10, 168 pounds, and Lyde is 5-9, 186.
