Nico Ali Walsh, grandson of Muhammad Ali, testified before the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee in April 2026. He opposed the Muhammad Ali America Boxing Revival Act, arguing it undermines fighters' rights established by the original Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act. Alongside Oscar De La Hoya, Walsh advocates for protections for lesser-known fighters in the sport, emphasizing that boxing should not mimic a centralized business model like UFC. Walsh aims for a compromise that honors his grandfather's legacy while advocating for boxers’ rights.
