In the second round of Yeager's brutal KO, Nico, Muhammad Ali's grandson, instinctively executes his grandfather's famous shuffle.

FANCY footwork appears to be a family trait.

Nico Ali, Muhammad Ali's great-grandson, performed the boxing legend’s famous shuffle against Jeremiah Yeager.

The 21-year old scored a spectacular second-round knockout to keep his undefeated record.

He spontaneously paid tribute his grandad by performing the "Ali Shuffle" just before landing the blows which saw the referee end the fight.

After the fight, he told Sky Sports: "I didn’t plan (the Shuffle).

It was very emotional. There has been so much going on. But, yeah, that's what I wasn't planning on doing. It was just an accident.

"I believe the most important thing was to stay calm. Which I did. Head movement and defense were another thing I found helpful. Last month, I fought.

"So, if I can make these small improvements in such a short time, who knows what I can accomplish in my next fight?"

Nico Ali Walsh has won every one of his professional fights.

After winning his first two bouts, he won by knockout. He then defeated Reyes Sanchez in a majority decision.

Yeager was a minor threat to the man he met ten years earlier in Tulsa (Oklahoma).

Ali Walsh put his opponent on the floor in round two, before he fought back moments later with the combination that ended the fight.
