Deontay Wilder speaks exclusively with Mirror Fighting on Anthony Joshua fight and MMA move
OnlyFans has announced a new partnership with several Professional Fighters League (PFL) stars, including Muhammad Ali’s grandson Biaggio Ali Walsh, to show what life is like as a professional MMA competitor. The content subscription service has announced the deal to give MMA fans a rare and unique insight into how fighters train and prepare for fights.
The deal involves some of the biggest names in the PFL, including Ali Walsh – the grandson of boxing legend Muhammad Ali. The 24-year-old is following in his grandfather’s footsteps, albeit in a different discipline, with an impressive five wins and one defeat in his PFL career.
Canadian MMA star Olivier Aubin-Mercier has also signed up to take part. The former UFC fighter joined the league in 2019 after becoming a free agent and has remained undefeated in the league across his nine fights. Amber Leibrock and Kaytlin “Katniss’ Neil have also teamed up ahead of the 2023 PFL World Championship taking place at The Anthem in Washington D.C. taking place on Friday, November 24.
Keily Blair, CEO of OnlyFans, said: “OnlyFans is thrilled to announce our partnership with the PFL and welcome their fighters to our creator community. These types of collaborations demonstrate the power of our platform to connect athletes with their fans.
“OnlyFans is giving the PFL another platform to grow their global fan base through exclusive MMA content, and helping their fighters generate additional revenue alongside their sporting achievements.”
With all four fighters taking part in the championship, the new partnership with OnlyFans will give MMA fans access to exclusive training footage and behind-the-scenes PFL content.
The PFL, formerly known as the World Series of Fighting, is one of the biggest MMA franchises since starting back in 2012. The league has grown in popularity over the years with a number of big-name fighters joining, including former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

Ngannou joined following a dispute over his UFC deal back in May 2023 but is yet to fight having recently agreed a deal to face boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia later this month.
The league has also collaborated with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul this year who became a minority equity owner in the brand alongside his business partner Nakisa Bidarian. Paul has also signed up to compete in events, reportedly on a multi-fight, multi-year deal.
Paul’s fights have all been in the boxing ring since becoming a professional in 2020, with his most recent bout coming against former UFC champion Nate Diaz. The fight resulted in a decision win for Paul.
