Political Quotes

“I rise today to support the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act. Mr. Speaker, for decades boxing has declined in the public eye in part because of a fragmented structure that has left many fighters without the security and stability they deserve. This bill gives boxers more control over their careers, allowing them to choose whether to compete within a unified boxing organization or continue under the current system. The bill updates longstanding requirements to ensure proper medical oversight, including the presence of doctors and ambulances at every event. It includes my amendment, which better aligns these requirements with established industry practice and State laws in some of the Nation's premier combat sport States, including Nevada. As a result, the bill now requires two ambulances and two doctors to be continuously present at professional boxing matches. I urge my colleagues to support this bill brought forward by my friend Representative Brian Jack that I believe will modernize boxing safety standards.”
