"The Revival Act would allow UBOs to handle all of those things as a sort of one-stop shop, similar to what the Ultimate Fighting Championship is in MMA."
"Supporters of the bill... praised it as another choice for fighters. They pointed to stronger health care provisions for all fighters, including mandatory physicals and brain and eye testing."
"My hope is, by its passage, you're not just going to have one UBO, my hope is that you're going to have a dozen UBOs operating, if not more, in this sport."
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Muhammad Ali Boxing Revival Act, which now moves to the Senate. If enacted, it will allow Unified Boxing Organizations to manage promotions, rankings, and matchmaking. This change aims to provide boxers with more career options and improve health care provisions, including mandatory physicals and testing. Supporters believe this will not replace existing structures but will create additional opportunities for fighters. The bill's author envisions multiple UBOs enhancing innovation and interest in boxing.
