Muhammad Ali's son, Muhammad Ali Jr. has dumped his wife and two children after inheriting his part of his late father's fortune, a report suggests. Just over a month after the The Greatest's death, Muhammad Ali Jr. is believed to have moved out of his family home in Chicago's South Side to a more affluent part of the city.


For the last ten years, he and his family - wife Shaakira and children, Ameera, eight, and Shakera, seven - have been relying on food stamps and handouts. He had been estranged from his sporting legend father for a number of years.  

He was woefully neglected by his absentee father as a child, and badly bullied by boys who wanted to prove they could beat up the champion’s son 

Sources told Radar Online he wanted to move into a better neighborhood after getting the money, as children of the boxing hero, who died on June 3, met in California to discuss how to divide his estate.


The insiders say he is moving close to Midway Airport.

They have also hinted that his wife and children won't completely miss out. 'He gave his wife $75 to buy herself something nice, and bought the kids new shoes. He also wants to set up a trust fund for his kids,' the source told the tabloid site.
