Muhammad Ali’s Grandson Nico Ali Walsh Reacts to Thrilla in Manila Boxing Trunks and Talks Legacy

The “Thrilla in Manila,” as Muhammad Ali himself coined it, on 1 October 1975 is still regarded as the greatest and most brutal boxing match of all time. Now, 50 years on, Nico Ali Walsh revisits the iconic white shorts worn by his grandfather in that very match.
“These were his colors right here, white with black trim. I see this in boxing nowadays, I know exactly who they’re taking it from.” White trunks tend to tell the story of a fight-they can’t hide anything. Here, Ali Walsh breaks down the telling details on the shorts, and explores the importance of legacy.
Come take a look for yourself while the “Thrilla in Manila” shorts are on view to the public during Sports Week at Sotheby's New York. The free exhibition is open now through 11 April, before the auction closes on 12 April.
Filmed at Church Street Boxing Gym.
