Muhammad Ali’s Grandson Shuts Jake Paul Fight Offers After a Knockout Win
Biaggo Ali Walsh, Muhammad Ali's grandson, recently secured another win in his budding MMA career. After his latest triumph, which came through a knockout against Ed Davis in New York, he dismissed Jake Paul's challenge for a fight. Ali Walsh, continuing his winning streak, defeated Davis in the PFL Playoffs event at Madison Square Garden. After the match, he expressed his apologies to the audience, feeling the referee's decision to stop the fight was somewhat early. Yet, this victory is his fifth in a row, demonstrating his growing prowess in the MMA world. Jake Paul, known for calling out potential rivals, expressed his desire to face both Biaggio and his brother, Nico. But Ali Walsh doesn’t seem intrigued. Responding to the challenge, Ali Walsh highlighted the weight class difference, pointing out that he fights at 155, while Paul competes at 185. He added:
“Again, though? Does it keep happening? “I don’t really care. It doesn’t make sense to me. I fight at 155, he fights at 185. “He can call me out 30 times, it's really not going to do something. I’m an MMA fighter and I’m still an amateur, isn’t he a pro? “He’s a pro fighter, I’m an amateur. I’m still working my way up and I’m not really a name vs name money fight right now, I’m just focusing on what I’m trying to do.”While Ali Walsh was pleased with his recent win, he showed a degree of self-awareness, admitting there's more room for improvement in his technique and overall game. When asked about his future plans, he mentioned that he aims to keep refining his skills, emphasizing that each fight is a chance to learn and grow.
“Just getting better and better. If I’m honest I’m not really that happy with my performance. I felt calmer but there are certain things I’ve got to do to just get better and better. “That’s what fighting’s all about. The fighting journey is a learning journey as well and it's all about just getting better and better.”
