It takes a heightened level of mental strength and defiance to grow up as the grandson of Muhammad Ali and not shy away from the sport where your grandfather is known as "The Greatest" and "The People's Champion." For Nico Ali Walsh, boxing was always part of his upbringing. It was hard not to fall in love with the way it tested him while also showing him what he was capable of as his skills continued to develop.
Walsh (8-0, 5 KOs) learned early on that you would never escape the comparisons and mentions of the man he calls “Poppy.” Instead of running away from that pressure, the 23-year-old embraced it and found an advantage in knowing that with every fight he was not only creating his own legacy, but also enriching that of his legendary grandfather
Walsh will face Danny Rosenberger on May 20 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. His fight is one of the main headliners of Saturday night's event, where Devin Haney will defend his lightweight championship against Vasiliy Lomachenko, which will be broadcast on pay-per-view on ESPN.
Walsh recently took a break between practices to chatM&Fthrough some of his favorite fights during sparring and on the go.

These are the only boxing shoes I wear. They are comfortable and have an old-school look. With these on my feet I float like a butterfly.

Sparring Cup
You never know when you'll need to do a few laps, which is why I always have this with me in the gym. I've never been knocked down without a cup, and I don't want to find out if it feels like that! It has my butterfly logo on it and looks like what the pros wore 50, 60 years ago.
Hand bandages
I can't go to the gym without my bandages. I can't train without my bandages. A boxer must always protect his hands, and these wraps keep my hands ready to throw.
