Nico Ali Walsh refused the challenge against the American YouTuber: not even in front of the treasure of 3 million dollars did he give in to the flattery. “I asked myself: how much does your pride cost? How much are you willing to sell yourself? Not me, I’m an Ali. And all this is a “about” that has nothing to do with boxing”.
Nico Ali Walsh he is the nephew of Muhammed Ali. He has a heavy surname on his back and when he puts on his gloves to box in the ring he feels the honor and honor of being the descendant of a legend of boxing and world sports. And it is by virtue of that name that he refused to take part in the ‘brawl in the jungle’, in that challenge that the youtuber, Jake Paulhe had thrown to him to get into the ring. The descendant of Cassius Clay before Mike Tyson, the American gets a kick out of it when the stakes are high. The more high-sounding the opponent’s name, the more adrenaline pushes him to fight: he tried with Ali but it went badly.
Even faced with a treasure trove of 3 million dollars (about 2.8 million euros), he did not give in to the enticement and opportunity to participate in a major event. “It was easy for me to say no. I refused right away, without even listening to what they were going to offer me.”the words that Ali Walsh proudly utters on Sky Sports. Money, lots of money, could have been a very strong temptation. Not for him, who was not attracted by that golden bag that was already on the table: he should have just said yes and held out his hands, it would have been his. “I think it was over $3 million,” he added. “That’s more than I’ve ever made in my career, money I’ve never seen before. But is everything money? That’s not how I grew up.”
And then Nico Ali Walsh has a jolt when he feels the same blood boiling in his veins that was the great boxing champion. He could never have put him on the line in that way. He would never have sold out history. “I asked myself: how much does your pride cost? How much are you willing to sell yourself for? Because that’s exactly the question at least for me. Anyone else can do it. Not me, I’m an Ali. I care a lot about the name that I carry and I don’t think I should be playing in the mud with people like Jake Paul.”

The Cleveland YouTuber has 10 professional fights under his belt and has only been beaten once by Tommy Fury. Ali Walsh has a personal record of 10-1 (5 knockouts) and recently avenged his only professional defeat by defeating Sona Akale on points. A hard-fought match that he managed to finish by winning despite having dislocated his shoulder during the fight. And he has no intention of crossing gloves with Paul. In fact, he doubled down: “This is all a circus. People like it. But it’s not something you can mix with a deadly sport like boxing.”.
