Nico Ali Walsh made his professional debut in 2021 and his most recent victory was in May in Equatorial Guinea, defeating Elbenezer Sowah, who was unbeaten until that moment. In a recent interview for KO On Si at the IBA Pro 9 event where he attended with his mother, daughter of Muhammad Ali, he said: "I'm traveling the world through boxing."
Very conscious of the surname he bears, Nico has made it clear that he does not intend to repeat the history of his grandfather, but to honor his legacy. In an interview with Daily Mail Sport, he spoke about a hypothetical fight between Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, betting on his grandfather as the boxer who would come out on top.
The answer about the hypothetical Mike Tyson vs Muhammad Ali fight was clear and without doubt "My grandfather," explaining that he was not only a puncher, but also possessed other skills such as intelligence, adaptability and heart.
Ali would destroy you psychologically before the first round

During that interview, he also gave Tyson Fury the victory over Antony Joshua and Mike Tyson over Oleksandr Usyk, all current heavyweight boxers.
Some boxing experts agree that Ali had an advantage over Tyson in stamina and technique, but not in explosiveness, so it would have been important for Muhammad to survive the early rounds and then attack with his mobility, jab and footwork that would put "Iron Mike" in check.
Nico reinforced the experts' theory "My grandfather's strategy was clear, he survived the beginning, dominated the fight in the middle and the end". On the other hand, Tyson's strength was always the beginning of the fight where he would attack his opponents.
