“This bill is far better today because of the bipartisan work that went into it. Together, we have improved safety standards, strengthened financial protections, and added important safeguards for fighters. These changes will help ensure that boxers are better protected both in and out of the ring and that the sport moves forward with greater integrity and accountability. As all the speakers on this side have mentioned, there is more work that could be done to strengthen the bill, especially as it pertains to private right of action and binding arbitration. This bill has come a long way and is significantly improved from its introduced version. I support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
