A revised version of the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act has been introduced in the U.S. Senate by Senators Ted Cruz and Jacky Rosen. The act aims to establish Unified Boxing Organizations (UBOs), which would enable promotional entities to operate their own rankings and titles. While it passed the House earlier this year, concerns persist regarding its impact on fighter rights and competition dynamics in the sport. The new bill introduces amendments, including limits on promotional agreements and enhanced transparency for rankings. It now awaits review by the Commerce Committee and further consideration by the full Senate before a final vote.
