Muhammad Ali's grandson Nico Ali Walsh believes he is "bringing his grandpa back to life" after scoring a knockout victory over Alejandro Ibarra in Las Vegas.
Ali Walsh was competing in his fifth professional fight on the undercard of Shakur Stevenson's victory over Oscar Valdez at the MGM Grand. He scored a brutal first-round knockout victory with the crowd chanting "Ali" in tribute to his legendary heavyweight grandfather.
The American middleweight believes his latest win is a testament to the work and dedication he has put in outside of the ring. “I was setting him up with the right hand," Ali Walsh said while assessing his latest victory. "I noticed his left hand was going down when he threw the jab. I was trying to counter it, and that’s what I did. I wish the best for him and his team. He’s a true warrior.
