Muhammad Ali's grandson, Biaggio Ali Walsh, makes MMA debut tonight against fellow debutant

Muhammad Ali‘s grandson, Biaggio Ali Walsh, makes his MMA debut tonight.

The former college football player – who has also pursued a career as a part-time model and personal trainer – steps into the cage on the undercard of Fusion Fight League’s ‘Rumble Under The Rims’ at First Interstate Arena in Montana on June 3.

His younger brother Nico Ali Walsh, 21, has already established himself as one of the top prospects in the world of boxing, boasting a perfect professional record of five wins, four knockouts, and zero defeats.

Welterweight Biaggio will be the strong favourite to win against fellow debutant Devin Rothwell, with the 23-year-old making his debut nine months on from Nico’s.

“After college football I felt very lost and didn’t like where my life was heading.

“Pursuing MMA makes me feel more emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally positive.”

The American prospect currently trains at the famed Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas, the home of multiple UFC champions such as Vitor Belfort, Francis Ngannou, and Miesha Tate.

He added: “I would say that growing up in the world of boxing would make me a striker but I do find myself pretty well-rounded.

“I began training with no specific base and started learning all the disciplines at the same time.
