Soon after Laila Ali made her appearance as a "Daughter of boxing legends" fighter, Jacqueline "Sister Smoke" Frazier made her announcement to the world, that she was going to be a pro boxer---at the age of 38.  Jacqueline is the daughter of famous Joe Frazier.  Jacqueline is a practicing attorney, and a mother of three.  Jacqueline  was voted most likely to succeed at  Plymouth Whitemarsh High School. She attended American University on a basketball scholarship,  and graduated and earned a law degree at Villanova.

Jacqueline was once given the nickname of "Sister Smoke" by her father's rival Muhammad Ali.  Jacqueline got all the necessities to achieve her goal in fighting pro.  She got a boxing license, a promoter, two trainers, and quickly got a fight date to take on her first opponent, Teela Reese, a "punching bag" from Ashtabula, Ohio.

On February 6, 2000, she had her pro debut, and as all suspected, Reese lasted less than one round and was on the canvass---turning her back on Jacqueline in the match.  Jacqueline received $25,000 for her pro debut, and her opponent, Reese, received a paltry $800.

On March 19, 2000, Jacqueline had her second pro bout against Annie Brook, a 198 pounder from North Carolina.  Jacqueline stopped Brooks 21 seconds into the third round, making her record 2-0 with 2KO.   According to news sources, Jacqueline easily won her second pro bout -- stopping her  opponent 21 seconds into the third of their scheduled four-round fight.  Her father was in the audience, and her brother Marvis, worked her corner.  Annie came into the fight outweighing Jacqueline by 25 lbs, and not being able to connect many punches.  She took two eight-counts in the first round, 11 seconds before the first round was over.   Brook's face was  bloodied in the second round she she got another standing eight count, when she failed to fight back.

Jacqueline's goal is one thing:  Laila Ali!  She has called Ali out publicly.   She wants to fight Ali this September, which is the 25th anniversary of the "Thrilla in Manila" - which is the last and most famous of the Ali - Frazier fights.

Jacqueline is 5'9, and weighs about 173 lbs.  Laila Ali is 5'10" and is in the range of 166 lbs.   Don Elbaum is her promoter, and he is the same man who introduced Don King to boxing, according to news sources.

On April 7, 2000, in Verona, NY (USA), at the Turning Stone Casino and Resort, Banner Promotions Jacqueline defeated Wanda Gamble in a first round KO , 0:59 seconds. Frazier is now 3-0 (3KO). 

On May 19, in New Haven, Conn., 38-year-old Jacqui Frazier-Lyde (170) scored her fourth TKO in four bouts, making her record 4-0 (4KO). Her opponent, 40-year-old Norma Galloway(171) was making her pro debut. As reported in by news source sportserver.com " Galloway was overmatched from the opening bell at the New Haven Coliseum. Making her boxing debut, she did nothing more than flail away and hold Frazier-Lyde when she got close. Galloway often threw punches with her eyes closed, badly missing the mark with nearly every punch. Frazier KO'd Galloway 1:04 of the fourth round.

On September 27, 2000, Kahunaville Nightclub, Philadelphia
Jacquelyn Frazier-Lyde KO'd Darlene Sabo 1:17 seconds into the fourth round.  Sabo has now been stopped twice in her first two pro fights. Sabo has no amateur boxing experience, and had been in martial arts for 13 years. 

Jay Searcy reported from the Inquirer that the fight was promoted by a company that Frazier-Lyde is the president, Chairman, etc.

Sabo was knocked to the canvas twice with big right hands to the head before ending the bout with a right-hand body shot at 1:17 seconds in the fourth round. Both fighters said it was a tough fight. Larry Holmes who was at the fight made a comment to the Inquirer that he was impressed and that Frazier-Lyde has improved 99%.  This fight was the "main event" (six-rounder).

 According to News Sources,  Soreal Communications Inc. of Philadelphia  put on this event. The "main Event" Jacqui Frazier-Lyde is the FOUNDER, PRESIDENT, and CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of Soreal Communications Inc.!   Is something wrong with this picture? 

The Inquirer also stated that Jacqui Frazier-Lyde's law firm, Frazier-Lyde & Associates, with offices above the Joe Frazier Gym on North Broad Street, represents the promotions firm, whose secretary and treasurer is Frazier- Lyde's husband, Peter Lyde.  

Frazier-Lyde is now 5-0 (5KO) all of her opponents thus far have not had a winning record, in fact, WBAN is not aware of ANY wins of ANY of these opponents...(WBAN encourages the public to send in information on these opponents if they have had fights that have not been reported and they won a fight.
