There are a lot of people who discredit what the influencer superstars, Jake Paul and Logan Paul, have accomplished in their careers. However, Biaggio Ali Walsh, the grandson of the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, and amateur MMA fighter, seems to feel differently about the two brothers.
Ali Walsh is an amateur MMA fighter who boasts a record of 6 wins and 1 loss. He is on a six-fight winning streak and it won’t be surprising to see him turn professional soon. On an episode of ES Fancast, featuring the young prospect, Noah Lack asked Ali Walsh how he felt about the Paul brothers. The MMA fighter had a very classy response.

In the ES Fancast episode 9, featuring Ali Walsh, he was asked about his take on the Paul brothers. He responded saying, “No, I think he’s doing a great job. You know, I think him and his brother both are just their marketing geniuses, you know, I gotta give them that.”
Biaggio Ali Walsh stated that Jake Paul is doing great things, also applauding Paul’s recent win against Andre August in a boxing match. He went on to say, “Yeah, you know, he’s doing great things. I know he just had a fight, I think last weekend or something like that, and knock the dude out with an uppercut. That’s great. You know, he’s working his way up and he keeps talking about it. And he’s doing it. So saying he’s not a boxer is at this point is stupid. And I would say unintelligent.”
The young MMA prospect continues to give Paul credit, saying, “You know that Jake Paul is a boxer, and he’s just working his way up like most professional boxers and fighters do. You know, you work your way up. So yeah, you know, hats off to him and what he’s doing.”
Biaggio Ali Walsh’s apple didn’t fall far from Muhammad Ali’s tree, as the interview showed his class as an athlete. Ali Walsh certainly has some big shoes to fill. But, it looks like the young prospect will make his own pair not far from now. Though the young prospect was quite respectable, he was called out by none other than Jake Paul for an MMA fight.

In the ES Fancast episode, Biaggio Ali Walsh also gave his response to Jake Paul’s callout. He responded, saying that the fight didn’t make much sense to him, mainly because of the different weight classes they fight in. He states, “When I fight, I fight at 155 because I walk around 76. So there’s a huge size difference there.”
“You can’t cut that much weight and perform as well. Same with me. If I were to go up in weight, I would be slower.” States Ali Walsh, as he goes on to explain that if the two fought each other, they wouldn’t be able to fight in their peak performances.
