Maddy summaryThe Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act of 2026 aims to improve safety and professional opportunities for boxers by modifying the existing Professional Boxing Safety Act of 1996.

Under this system, these organizations must provide enhanced medical care, including additional ambulances and ringside physicians, and require more rigorous physical exams for older boxers. The bill also mandates minimum payments of $200 per round, limits contract lengths to six years, and establishes a comprehensive anti-doping program with random testing. Furthermore, the legislation prohibits unified boxing organizations from having financial interests in the management of the boxers they promote and requires strict rules against insider betting.

The Office of Management and Budget will compile these reports into a public annual document for Congress and the public.
