    Sole Free - Sneakers & Culture - Nico Ali Walsh

    Muhammad Ali’s Grandson Nico Ali Walsh Fights to Protect the Ali Act. Sole Free with Harlan Friedman Nico Ali Walsh joins Harlan Friedman on Sole Free from the rooftop of Spring Studios during the 2026 Tribeca Festival for a powerful conversation about boxing, legacy, justice and what it truly means to carry the Ali name. The grandson of Muhammad Ali opens up about growing up with “The Greatest” as the only grandfather he ever knew, why his proudest fight may be happening outside the ring, and why he refuses to stay silent as the future of the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act becomes a major issue in combat sports. Nico speaks candidly about fighter rights, Zuffa Boxing, Dana White, the UFC model, his testimony in Washington, D.C., and why he believes boxing must remain a sport where fighters are protected from exploitation. He also reflects on the remarkable parallels between his own journey and his grandfather’s — more than 50 years after Muhammad Ali stood before the government over injustice, Nico now finds himself speaking before that same government in defense of fighters’ rights. Plus, the conversation takes some unexpected turns: 🥊 Why Nico wants the WBC green belt 🗽 Why New York beats Las Vegas when it comes to fashion 🏀 How an unbelievable Knicks comeback made him a fan for life 👟 His experience at Supreme in SoHo 🎬 His love of film and studying film at UNLV 🇺🇸 His thoughts on a UFC event at the White House 📸 And a deeply personal surprise involving never-before-seen photographs of Muhammad Ali This is more than a boxing interview. It’s a conversation about legacy, dignity, human rights, fame, money, family and what it means to stand for something bigger than yourself. “I will not go down without a fight.” Subscribe to TheOfficialHarlan for more exclusive Sole Free interviews from the worlds of sports, music, film, fashion and culture. #NicoAliWalsh #MuhammadAli #Boxing #AliAct #SoleFree EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Harlan Friedman and Donna Drake PRODUCER/EDITOR: Robin C.
