Muhammad Ali’s Grandson Nico Ali Walsh Pays Tribute to Late Boxing Legend with Emotional Victory in Pro Debut

May 12, 2025 — Las Vegas, NV

In a night filled with emotion, legacy, and powerful symbolism, Nico Ali Walsh — the grandson of the legendary Muhammad Ali — made his professional boxing debut with a stunning first-round knockout, dedicating the win to his late grandfather.

Fighting at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the 24-year-old middleweight entered the ring wearing a pair of white trunks once worn by Ali himself, gifted to him by the family estate. The crowd erupted into cheers as Walsh raised his gloves to the sky, mouthing, “This is for you, Grandpa.”

“I felt him in the ring with me tonight,” Walsh told reporters after the bout. “Everything I am, everything I stand for, is because of him. This win is just the beginning, and it’s all in his honor.”

Walsh’s opponent, veteran journeyman Miguel Rivera, was overwhelmed by the younger fighter’s speed and precision. Less than two minutes into the first round, a flurry of punches sent Rivera to the canvas, prompting the referee to call the fight.

The victory marked not just a successful debut, but a poignant continuation of one of boxing’s most iconic legacies. Ringside observers noted the crowd’s reverence and emotional reaction, with many fans chanting “Ali! Ali!” as Walsh’s hand was raised.

Ali’s daughter, Laila Ali — herself a retired undefeated boxing champion — was in attendance. She embraced her nephew after the match, visibly moved. “Daddy would be so proud,” she said through tears. “Nico’s got the heart of a champion.”

Promoter Bob Arum, who also promoted many of Muhammad Ali’s fights, declared, “The torch has truly been passed. Tonight, we witnessed history.”

Nico Ali Walsh’s next fight is expected to be announced in the coming weeks, but one thing is certain — the name Ali lives on, and the boxing world is watching.
