Bill > HR4624

This bill, the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act of 2026, aims to improve professional boxer well-being and offer them more choices by establishing new requirements for unified boxing organizations, referred to as UBOs, which are private sector associations or leagues that organize professional boxing matches and manage title belts and rankings without relying on independent sanctioning bodies. Key provisions include mandating additional medical examinations for boxers, especially those over 40 or who have suffered a knockout, requiring UBOs to provide more medical personnel and ambulances at matches, and ensuring boxers have access to training and rehabilitation facilities and injury insurance. The bill also mandates a comprehensive anti-doping program with independent testing and public reporting of prohibited substances and penalties, sets minimum boxer pay per round at $200, limits contracts to six years, and prohibits betting by boxers and related individuals on matches. Furthermore, it addresses conflicts of interest by preventing UBO officers and employees from having financial interests in boxer management or receiving certain fees, and it requires UBOs to file information with the Federal Trade Commission and the Association of Boxing Commissions. The bill also updates existing safety standards, including more specific requirements for physical examinations, insurance coverage, and the simplification of championship titles to a single title per weight class, with interim titles only awarded under specific circumstances.
