Laila Ali at 'Girlz In The Hood Women Of Achievement Awards Luncheon' at the Beverly Hilton. Los Angeles, CA - 30.05.08

Former boxer Laila Ali has confirmed her first child will be a boy, who will have the middle name Muhammad.

The 30-year-old says, "His name is going to be Curtis Jr. - after his father (Curtis Conway) - and Muhammad is the middle name."

Ali is due to give birth in three months (Sep08), and she tells U.S. news show Extra how she plans on "doing a natural home birth with no medication".

The former fitness fanatic admits the most difficult thing about being pregnant is missing out on strenuous gym work-outs.

She adds, "My husband has got on me a couple of times saying, 'You're not supposed to be doing that with those weights!' and I'm like, 'Oh, OK.'"
