Along the way, the efforts of these two figures received support from UFC boss Dana White and the boxing promotion organization Zuffa Boxing.This support makes boxers worried.
There are concerns that there are shrimps behind the rock from UFC and Zuffa Boxing.When these concerns arose, Tyson provided support for the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act bill.
“Muhammad Ali has always been my hero, both inside and outside the ring,” Tyson told the United States House of Representatives Education & Labor Committee, as reported by
ESPN
.
“Supporting these revisions would honor the spirit of the original Ali Act, closing the loophole that allows promoters to regain monopoly control over boxers’ careers.”
The former boxer nicknamed Concrete Neck emphasized that the amendment to the Ali Law would not harm athletes.In contrast, Ali’s bill would leave athletes with more options.
“This new law restores balance allowing boxers to choose their own path while maintaining the integrity of the sport,” he stressed.
Representatives of Zuffa Boxing emphasized that this bill will not change anything contained in the Ali Law which is currently in effect.On the contrary, this bill will perfect the Ali Law.
“I am honored to have the support of Mike Tyson, one of the greatest boxers of all time,” a Zuffa Boxing representative told ESPN.
“Mike Tyson supports the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act because it protects boxers and offers more choices and new career opportunities,” he said.
