Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has taken direct aim at the proposed Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act, arguing in a detailed letter to Congress that the current language of the bill fails to protect fighters from the very abuses the original Ali Act was designed to stop.
The legislation supported aggressively by Dana White and executives at TKO Group Holdings, parent company of the UFC seeks to modernize boxing’s regulatory system and create a pathway for organizations to operate as Unified Boxing Organizations (UBOs). Under TKO’s vision, such a structure would mirror the UFC’s model: exclusive long-term contracts, promoter-controlled rankings, and centralized matchmaking.
