After four fights with mixed results last year, American middleweight Nico Ali Walsh is using his platform to speak out.
The 26-year-old (12-2-1, 5 KOs) has been campaigning to prevent updates being made to boxing law in the U.S. and spoke out about the proposed Ali Revival Act.
Ali Walsh, grandson of Muhammad Ali, features among just a few high-profile boxing representatives - including Hall of Fame boxer-turned-promoter Oscar De La Hoya - to have voiced their discontent at the proposal.
Still an active fighter, the Las Vegas-based hopeful is latest to feature in the chair alongside The Ring's Rick Reeno, as they discuss several topics.
Among them, he talks about:
- Realizing his grandfather, Muhammad Ali, was a cultural icon
- Living up to the Ali name when entering into the sport
- His motivations for speaking out on the Ali Revival Act
- Big concerns surrounding the legislation
- Armed with a new trainer, when does he plan to return?
- Having rejected a multi-million dollar offer previously... could he still fight Jake Paul one day?
- The lowdown alongside highly-rated coach Brian "BoMac" McIntyre
- World champion or upholding the Ali name.. what would mean more?
Their full sit-down interview is now available to watch and stream across all platforms. Scroll down below and enjoy the episode! 🥊💥
