By Muhammad Ali’s grandson Nico Ali Walsh picked his fifth professional win with a brutal first round knockout of Alejandro Ibarra.
Before turning professional last August, Ali Walsh spent several months training alongside Gennady Golovkin’s trainer Abel Sanchez. He then turned to Tyson Fury’s head coach, SugarHill Steward, to help him before having his first professional fight.
Ali Walsh competed against Ibarra on the undercard of Shakur Stevenson vs Oscar Valdez on Saturday night in Las Vegas. The 21-year-old was unbeaten in four fights heading into the middleweight bout whilst Ibarra held a record of 7-1.
