JAKARTA - Muhammad Ali's grandson, Nico Ali Walsh, is the successor of his grandfather and is now a great boxer in the middle class. He now has a 6-0 record.
However, a different step was taken by his brother, Biaggio Ali Walsh. He did not follow in the footsteps of his grandfather who got off in the boxing ring.
Biaggio has signed a contract with Professional Fighters League in the hope of giving birth to a successful MMA career.
The former American football talent started training in 2020 and has a record 1-1. His first win was achieved last August.
"I want to thank the Professional Fighters League for their support and trust in me. I can't wait to enter PFL SmartCage," said Biaggio, as reported by The Sun.
"I have a legacy to live on, a legacy that my grandfather, my brother and I started, I chose to continue with that legacy here at the Professional Fighters League."
"My only goal is to one day become the world champion of PFL," he continued.
Please note, the PFL format consists of two regular season matches, where points are obtained according to the winning method.
The tournament then continued in the play-offs. The top four fighters in each division then qualified for the semifinals and finals using the knockout phase.
Fighters will compete in order to get a check of 1 million US dollars (around Rp. 14.9 billion) and a title belt.
Biaggio will make his PFL debut in November.
"Professional Fighters League is committed to developing MMA leagues and sports. It is our obligation to look for future stars and have found one of those stars, namely Biaggio," said PFL CEO Peter Murray.
"We are pleased to witness the journey of Biaggio from amateur to professional on the world stage with PFL," he continued.
