TIL Desk Sports/ Nico Ali Walsh, the grandson of former heavyweight champion and boxing legend Muhammad Ali, has signed a deal with Bob Arum’s Top Rank Boxing and will have his first professional fight on August 14.
The middleweight Ali Walsh, 20, is the son of Robert Walsh and Rasheda Ali Walsh, Muhammad Ali’s daughter. “Signing with Top Rank is a dream come true,” Ali Walsh said of the multi-fight deal.
“I am honored to continue the fighting legacy that my grandfather started. It is a responsibility I don’t take lightly.” Ali Walsh said he will be juggling classes and being a professional boxer as he works to graduate next spring from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
The signing brings 89-year-old Arum’s career, which began when he promoted his first fight for Ali in 1966, full circle. “This is amazing,” said Arum. “Who would have believed that so many years later, we’d be promoting the pro debut of his grandson?”
