Nico Ali Walsh, grandson of Muhammad Ali, won by TKO in his professional boxing debut Saturday night.
Ali Walsh, 21, defeated Jordan Weeks (4-2) when the referee stopped the fight at 1:49 of the first round.
“This lived up completely to my expectations,'' Ali Walsh said during an in-ring interview after the fight.
