Having made the move from college football to MMA in 2020, Muhammad Ali’s grandson will be making his PFL debut after less than three years of full-time training. He initially trained in MMA as a way to maintain his fitness, but has since dedicated himself to his craft.
Biaggio Ali Walsh speaks on relationship with grandfather, Muhammad Ali
The grandson of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali has made news in the world of MMA by announcing that he will be competing in the PFL World Championships for 2022. The fight will take place on November 25 at Madison Square Garden, where Ali Walsh will feature in the opening bout of the prelims.
Ali’s grandson had an interview with Sports Illustrated in 2017, where he stated that he shared an incredibly close relationship with the heavyweight boxing legend. However, during Ali Walsh’s adolescent years, he desired to be a professional football player and not a professional boxer like his grandfather.
In a promo video released on PFL’s Twitter account, Ali Walsh had this to say:
“I’m super grateful and excited to be signed with the PFL. Obviously MMA is a whole different sport than boxing, my main goal is just to continue the tradition of fighting that runs within my family’s blood. Continuing the legacy just means the world to me.”
Muhammad Ali would certainly have been in attendance at Madison Square Garden come November 26 were he still among the living. His grandson will hope to carry the spirit of his grandfather with him when he makes the biggest walk of his MMA career.
