Comparison of Nico Ali Walsh and Sona Akale’s Records
1. Nico Ali Walsh
Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, Nico made his professional debut in the boxing ring on August 14, 2021. At that time, he succeeded in overthrowing a boxer named Jordan Weeks.
A few months later, Nico held his second fight. Facing James Westley II at the State Farm Arena, Atlanta, he won again.
Over time, Nico continued the positive trend in the boxing ring. For a time, he enjoyed his boxing record which remained unbeaten.
Nico recorded his eighth straight win when he beat Eduardo Ayala in February 2023. However, this unbeaten record had to be lost when he was defeated by Sona Akale some time ago.
