Less than two weeks after the death of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, the former athlete's grandson signed a contract with a modeling agency.
Celebrities like Nick Jonas, Shawn Mendes and Demi Lovato have also signed with Wilhelmina Models.
Walsh, a high school senior at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, is the son of Rasheda Ali. His Twitter account indicates that he is the running back on the school's football team. He has plans to play football in college and has received multiple scholarship offers.
Rasheda Ali, a product of Muhammad Ali's second marriage, is one of Muhammad Ali's nine children. He was married four times.
"I just want to make him proud," Walsh wrote on Twitter.
Walsh's 14-year-old younger brother, Nico, has decided to follow their grandfather's footsteps by taking up boxing. The teenagers are two of Muhammad Ali's three grandchildren.
