Biaggio Ali Walsh has opened up about how he replicates the Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier rivalry in training.

"The way he sets up his right hands with his jabs, his fast jabs, that's something I take from his book. The way he throws rights to set up hooks. There are so many things that I've taken from him. Even Joe Frazier, I watch a lot of Joe Frazier too."
