The bipartisan <em>Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act<\/em> would remove legal barriers to allow voluntary, league-style Unified Boxing Organizations (UBOs) to compete alongside traditional promoters. It also would strengthen fighter protections and safety standards, while creating new opportunities for organizations to compete, giving boxers more choices and fans better matchups. The bill establishes a framework under which UBOs may organize fights, rank fighters, and award titles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoxing is a staple in Nevada, bringing in thousands of visitors, supporting jobs, and contributing to our local economy. Since the passage of the Ali Act, which secured critical protections for boxers almost three decades ago, the industry has continued to grow, but has sometimes struggled to keep up with an evolving combat sports landscape,\u201d <strong>dijo el Senador Rosen. <\/strong>\u201cWe need legislation to revitalize this storied American pastime, while empowering and protecting the boxers who make this sport great. That is why our bipartisan bill keeps Ali Act protections in place and enhances health and safety protections for boxers, all while bringing boxing into the 21st century. These updates will allow the boxing industry to grow and thrive without sacrificing safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the twentieth century, boxing produced household names and championship fights that captivated the country. Past reforms improved the safety and fairness of the sport, but today, too many of the biggest matchups never happen because the sport is trapped in a fragmented system. This bipartisan legislation will revive marquee matchups, strengthen protections for fighters, and make boxing great again,\u201d <strong>said Senator Cruz.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen believes sports are key to Nevada\u2019s tourism industry, which is why she has pushed for Las Vegas to become the \u201csports capital of the world.\u201d She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2026\/04\/22\/video-in-senate-hearing-rosen-celebrates-legacy-of-boxing-in-nevada-discusses-the-future-of-boxing\/\">led the hearing<\/a> on the current state and significance of boxing in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
