The grandson of Muhammad Ali said Tyson Fury is an inspiration, but not even the Gypsy King could have beaten his legendary grandad.
Nico Ali Walsh, a professional boxer who has been working with Bob Arum (Hall of Fame promoter) is the latest to continue the famed boxing name.
Muhammad Ali's grandson stated that Tyson Fury would LOSE his legendary grandad
The anticipated debut of the 21-year-old middleweight will be made this Saturday with many eyes watching.
Sugarhill Stewards, the nephew of the late great Emanuel, is helping Fury on his journey.
Nico has been getting to know the heavyweight champion and taking notes of the unbeaten Brit.
He said to MyBettingSites that Tyson Fury had not given him a lot of advice. I didn't want to bother him.
"He was at training camp. It is enough to be around him. It is enough to just watch Tyson work and admire his work ethic.
"Nobody can see what he does behind closed doors. The stuff that the public doesn't see is the stuff that matters. That's what Tyson Fury taught me the most.
"I love Tyson Fury, and this is a biased opinion - but I don’t think anyone would beat my grandfather in history."
Nico was a boxer who had only 30 amateur fights in America, but will be remembered as the most prominent surname in boxing history.
The prospect, who is currently a full time student at University of Nevada knows that he has a target like none other.
He stated that everyone wants to be Muhammad Ali's grandchild. Although I wouldn't tell anyone who I was, they would always know.
"And they would always try to knock out me or hurt me when they did. They wanted to be able say, 'Hey Muhammad Ali's grandson, you knocked out Muhammad Ali’s grandson'.
"I believe being Muhammad Ali's grandchild is both a blessing as well as a curse, and that falls under the curse category."
