Nico Ali Walsh Triumphs Over Sona Akale and Responds to Teofimo Lopez’s Criticism

Nico Ali Walsh secures a unanimous decision win over Sona Akale, addresses Teofimo Lopez’s disparaging remarks, and reaffirms his commitment to boxing legacy over fame and money.

Bollywood Fever: Nico Ali Walsh, grandson of the legendary Muhammad Ali, secured a decisive victory this Saturday, further solidifying his place in the boxing world. Walsh, 23, delivered an impressive performance, knocking down Sona Akale in the third round and earning a unanimous decision win. This victory not only improved his record to 11-1 but also avenged his only career loss, which came against Akale last year.

Despite dislocating his shoulder in the final round, Walsh managed to sway the judges with his skill and determination. However, his post-fight interview was not just about celebrating the win; it was also an opportunity to address recent comments made by WBO champion Teofimo Lopez.

Walsh expressed his disappointment with Lopez, who had previously accused him of pursuing boxing solely for money and fame. “Teofimo Lopez said in an interview a few weeks before this fight. He disrespected my family saying that I’m only in boxing because I’m desperate for money and fame. And I thought that that was really wrong for someone that I used to look up to say. But you know, it is what it is,” Walsh stated.

In response to Lopez’s comments, Walsh highlighted his commitment to the sport and his dedication to his family’s legacy. He revealed that he had turned down a lucrative fight offer from MVP Promotions to face Jake Paul, opting instead to fight a legitimate opponent. “I just want everyone to know that I chose the path of boxing, I chose the path of legacy. If I wanted to be, I could be a millionaire right now. Before this fight, I denied a multi-million dollar contract from MVP Promotions to fight Jake Paul and I’m fighting a real fighter tonight. So, I’m not part of that circus league of boxing,” Walsh emphasized.

With this win, Walsh continues to honor the legacy of his grandfather, Muhammad Ali, by choosing integrity and real competition over easy money and celebrity bouts. His performance and his words both serve as a testament to his dedication to the sport and his determination to carve out his own path in the boxing world.
