A star in boxing was born when Nico Ali Walsh got that incredible first-round knock-out against Alejandro Ibarra. We all started wondering about that last-name, it wasn't a coincidence. Nico is son of Rashida Ali, daughter of the legendary Muhammad Ali. Inside the Mount Rushmore of American sports, the legendary Heavyweight always ranks amongst the other athletes.

He always has a secured spot inside that mount, but why is that? Muhammad Ali wasn't only one of the most impressive Heavyweight champions in boxing history, he was also a sports icon. When you hit that status, you definitely also made an impact outside of your sport.
