Muhammad Ali’s grandson Nico Ali Walsh is willing to step in and avenge Mike Tyson, but only on one condition. Over the weekend, the 58-year-old Tyson faced off against the much younger Paul in a fight that was criticized by many.
After the fight, Walsh took to social media to bash Paul.
“Jake Paul is an embarrassment to this sport. If my grandfather was still around, he’d call him out. Absolutely no shame… Love you Mike”
On Instagram, Walsh would later say that he would avenge Tyson if Mike asked him to.

Nico clarified that he would only fight Paul if all the money went to charity.
“If this ever happened, the money goes to charity. Or no deal”
Earlier this year, Ali’s grandson turned down a multi-million dollar offer from Paul because he thought the Youtuber-turned boxer was making a mockery of boxing.
“I chose the path of boxing. I chose the path of legacy…I could be a millionaire right now. Before this fight, I denied a multi-million dollar contract from MVP Promotions to fight Jake Paul…I’m not a part of that circus league of boxing.”
