Recently, Evan Holyfield let his fans ask him questions on an Instagram story, where one of the questions spoke the mind of millions, it read, “Would you ever fight Nico Ali Walsh?” and to that question, Holyfield said what everybody wanted to hear. He said, “That’d be mad cool in the future.”

What Happened to Muhammad Ali’s Grandchildren?

The fight between these two fighters would be a dream come true for a lot of fans and it’d definitely be a great spectacle. The fight will cater to the new fans as well as the older fans of the sport. And it’d also answer the most important question, who will actually win the fight?

The closest the fighters got to each other

In 2021, Evan Holyfield and Nico Ali Walsh actually had a bout with different opponents on the same undercard. Evander Holyfield’s son was fighting against Charles Stanford Jr., and he won the match via knockout in the second round. And Muhammad Ali’s grandson was fighting against James Wesley II and he too won the match by knockout, but in the third round. So obviously, both of the young boxers won their respective matches via knockout on the same night under the same roof.

Since then, there is no news of these two fighters fighting against each other. But the fans can surely hope that to happen one day, and when that happens, that night will surely go down in the books of history.
