Muhammad Ali\u2019s grandson reveals massive Jake Paul fight offer Instagram\/jakepaulThe grandson of the greatest boxer who ever lived, Muhammad Ali, revealed he turned down a very lucrative fight offer to take on Jake Paul. On June 29, 2024, Nico Ali Walsh emerged victorious against his opponent, Sona Akale, despite dislocating his shoulder during the bout. In a post-fight interview, announced he had the opportunity to take on Jaul Paul. Walsh took aim at the event\u2019s headline fighter, Teofimo Lopez, and claimed that he was only boxing because he was \u201cdesperate for money and fame.\u201d \u201cI just wanna let everyone know that I chose the path of boxing, I chose the path of legacy. If I wanted to, I could be a millionaire right now,\u201d Walsh explained. \u201cBefore this fight, I denied a multi-million-dollar contract from MVP Promotions, to fight Jake Paul.\u201d Jake Paul has been tearing up the boxing scene since his arrival, having secured victories against numerous former UFC stars such as Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz. On July 20, he\u2019s set to battle Mike Perry, who is stepping in for Mike Tyson. As for why Walsh turned down the offer, it turns out it\u2019s because he has a negative opinion of the influencer boxing scene. \u201cI\u2019m not a part of that circus league of boxing. This is the real league of boxing and this is what I\u2019m gonna do,\u201d he said. While it may not look like Muhammad Ali\u2019s grandson will be stepping into the ring with Jake Paul anytime soon, \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 has his share of foes lined up. After his scheduled bout with Mike Perry in July, Paul is set to finally take on Mike Tyson on November 15, in what will be Netflix\u2019s first-ever live boxing event. The 27-year-old boxer is also convinced that if he keeps up his success in the ring, he\u2019ll become a boxing champion by 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
