Bill in Muhammad Ali’s name would create UFC-like business model for boxing

The bill, titled “The Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act,” was introduced Wednesday by U.S. Representatives Brian Jack, a Republican from Georgia, and Sharice Davids, a Democrat from Kansas. The bill’s language would allow for “alternative systems” called Unified Boxing Organizations, which would permit promoters to introduce their own rankings and championship belts – something explicitly outlawed by the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act of 2000.
