In an interview with ESPN, Biaggio Ali Walsh opened up about the weight of expectations that come with being the grandson of the legendary Muhammad Ali.
Reflecting on his experiences, Biaggio shared: “Just existing and being related to who I’m related to, there’s pressure. I had pressure when I was playing football and that’s a whole different sport. I’m definitely gonna have a lot more pressure participating in a combat sport.”
“But I had that since I was a little kid. I don’t care. I think how you deal with the pressure is a lot more important.”
Before venturing into combat sports, Biaggio Ali Walsh made a name for himself on the football field. He played Division I football at the University of Las Vegas, where he was a running back.
