Muhammad Ali’s grandson, Nico Ali Walsh, emerged victorious by unanimous decision in his last fight on Feb 3rd. But the boxer needs more, as Walsh is already getting ready to get in the ring again. Nico Ali Walsh recently posted the pictures on his Instagram. While some pictures are from his workout sessions, some were simply the embodiment of the reason which keeps him grinding in the boxing gym. He shared a picture of Kobe Bryant posing with the NBA Championship trophy after the LA Lakers had defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in the game of NBA Finals, 2001.

The picture depicts the ‘Black Mamba’ mindset that Walsh follows during his practice sessions. One of the pictures also had a quote from an Australian activist, Christine Caine, which she had shared on Goodreads.
