JAKARTA - The grandson of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, Nico Ali Walsh, has the opportunity to undergo a fight in England. Promotor Bob Arum is preparing for the possibility.
To Seconds Out, Bob Arum wanted to take Nico to England to become an undercard fight between Artur Beterbiev and AnthonyOKee.
The American boxer is expected to enter the ring on January 28, 2023. He will go down in the middle class.
Nico has so far shown to be able to continue his family heritage. He is unbeaten in his six professional fights.
The 22-year-old man may have learned from his grandfather. He also admitted that he often watched the old match of Muhammad Ali who died in 2016.
Nico once told SunSport how the grandfather's eyes "sink" every time he watched his old game.
"The main fight we're going to watch is the fight. When we don't watch it on TV, we'll watch my sparring video clip and when I practice on my phone," Nico said.
"If I had to choose the fight, we would usually watch Rumble in the Jungle because it was my favorite fight. It was great to watch this with him and see his reaction. I mean, he always reacts when we watch him."
"I remember his eyes would light up, when he saw himself. It was one of the best things when I watched the fight."
He then added, "I've always watched his fight. It's hard to imitate him because he's so different so I'm not trying to imitate him."
