Nico Ali Walsh paid tribute to his late grandfather Muhammad Ali as he won his debut professional bout wearing a pair of shorts he had given him.

The 21-year-old made easy work of the fight, knocking down Jordan Weeks after 70 seconds.

The middleweight fight was eventually stopped before the end of the first round.

Muhammad Ali won boxing's world heavyweight title on three occasions.

Ali Walsh, who is studying for a business degree, is the son of Ali's daughter Rasheda Ali.
