Muhammed Ali passed away earlier this month and will be forever remembered as the greatest boxer of all time. But his grandson Biaggio Ali Walsh has slightly different dreams: The 17-year-old from Las Vegas just signed a modeling contract with major agency Wilhelmina.
Walsh has added the agency's name to his Instagram bio and announced the deal on Twitter.
"He has a great look," a Wilhelmina agent told TMZ. "He's a well-rounded person. That's what we look for." The agency also represents celebrities including Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas, according to its website.
Ali was known to describe himself as "pretty," and apparently, his grandson has taken after him. Walsh also seems to have his grandfather's athleticism. He's a three-star high school football running back sought after by multiple colleges, USA Today reported. At least 10 school shave already offered him scholarships, according to Heavy.com. Between that and his modeling career, it looks like he's got a bright future ahead of him.
Wilhelmina did not immediately return Complex's request for comment.
