Biaggio Ali Walsh has told Jake Paul to fight opponents who are closer to his own size after Paul’s recent fight offers to much smaller fighters.

Walsh, a PFL lightweight and grandson of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, said Paul should face fighters who weigh more similarly to him.

Paul, who weighed around 200 pounds for his last fight against Mike Perry, has tried to set up matches with Ali Walsh’s brother, Nico, and Biaggio himself. Both brothers have declined big-money offers from Paul, with Nico turning down $3 million for a fight.

Nico Ali Walsh rejected the offer to keep his boxing career focused on serious competition rather than celebrity matches. “I’m fighting a real fighter tonight,” he said, emphasizing his commitment to serious boxing.

Biaggio Ali Walsh, now preparing for his second professional fight, believes Paul should challenge fighters who are closer to his weight class. He noted that while Paul has beaten several notable opponents, he still prefers Paul face others of similar size.


“I don’t really understand calling out people that are smaller than you,” Biaggio said. “Fans would like to see him fight a boxer his own size.”


Biaggio, who is focused on building his MMA career, has no interest in celebrity matches at this stage. He hopes to establish his legacy in the sport before considering crossover events.
