I’m related to the greatest boxer ever but changed my name to make my own way – it worked until Mike Tyson showed up

NICO ALI WALSH has the most famous surname in boxing history but he kept it a secret – until Mike Tyson blew his cover.

The 24-year-old is the grandson of Muhammad Ali – affectionately known as The Greatest.

Nico’s parents – including Ali’s daughter Rasheda whose sister Laila was a champion boxer – never wanted him to enter the family business.

But by 14, Ali Walsh – with the help of his grandfather – convinced his family to allow him to start boxing.
