Asaad Amin Ali is the youngest son of boxing legend Mohammad Ali. Though he was raised by an international icon, Asaad decided to create his own path instead of following in his father’s footsteps. Today, he’s doing well as a baseball coach.
Asaad Amin Biography, Wiki
The baseball coach was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1986, Asaad was adopted at just five months old by Ali and his fourth wife, Yolanda “Lonnie” Williams. At the time, Lonnie’s sister was caring for a friend’s baby who was going into foster care. The baby’s story changed for better when Ali and Lonnie visited, met baby Asaad, fell in love, and decided to adopt him.
Ali already had seven daughters and a son from his previous marriage.
As the youngest of Muhammad Ali’s nine children, Asaad didn’t get the opportunity to watch his father box. Arguably, the 31-year-old who now works as an assistant baseball coach for a local college didn’t get to be inspired by watching his father in action as he was born a decade after Ali retired.
Unlike his father, Asaad developed a passion for baseball instead of boxing. He was a catcher in his high school and in 1992, he led his team to the Southwestern Michigan Athletic Conference West Division Championship. He batted 367 with four doubles, two home runs, and 18 RBIs in 25 games when he was 18. In addition to baseball, Asaad also played football in high school.

According to the details available on his Facebook, he’s currently an assistant baseball coach and recruiting coordinator for a local college. He also acts as an area scout for the Chicago White Sox. Asaad’s baseball coach profile says that one of his Chicago White Sox recruits was signed in the 29th round of the 2014 MLB Draft.
Considering he didn’t see his dad box, it’s quite safe to say that his respect for the legendary Mohammed Ali isn’t related to his very successful and lucrative career as a professional boxer. Asaad who has so much respect for his father said he admired his the boxing great’s strength of character and how he stayed positive, even while he had Parkinson’s.
“He stays with a positive attitude even though he has Parkinson’s… He never complains about it.”
After his father passed away in 2016, Asaad posted series of touching tributes online to the man who took him under his wings when he needed help the most.
