Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act of 2026
Introduced Jul 23, 2025 by Rep. Brian Jack
The House passed it. The Senate has to pass it before it can reach the President.

UBOs also operate alongside existing professional boxing organizations (e.g., World Boxing Council (WBC)).
UBOs must meet certain additional requirements, for example
the UBO must implement an anti-doping program that includes drug testing in advance of matches,
