5. Mensah was denied access to see Muhammed Ali before he died.

She says she was cut out of his life when Ali married his fourth wife Lonnie in 1986 – three years after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.

“Muhammad Ali is my dad – but everything changed the moment he married her,” says Kiiursti. He stopped coming to see me. As the years went by he got sicker and sicker. She stopped him having a relationship with me. It’s been devastating. Now, I want to say goodbye to him before he dies. I want her to please let me have that chance. I’m not after his money. I don’t care about that. I make my own. All I want is to spend time with my father especially now he is so ill – but she has control of everything.”

6. Barbara Mensah was even pictured in Life Magazine next to Ali for a special edition when he refused to go to Vietnam.
