I used to love to watch boxing; I'm not into the MMA  in which they kick the crap out of one another. I thought Ali's daughter boxed as well?

Muhammad Ali's grandson marks professional boxing debut with a victory

The continuation of a legacy was how Nico Ali Walsh -- the grandson of Muhammad Ali -- described making his professional boxing debut in the sport on Saturday.
Wearing a pair of his grandfather's white trunks, the 21-year-old Walsh won his his middleweight bout against Jordan Weeks with a first-round stoppage at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Catoosa, Oklahoma.

"I'm blessed and honored to say that I continued history," Walsh wrote on Instagram.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that supported me! I brought my grandfather in the ring with me by wearing his shorts for the first and final time as a professional fighter. I'm more than proud to say: The Legacy Continues."............
