Boxing is labor. Fighters risk their health, their futures, and their lives every time they step into the ring. The Muhammad Ali Act was created to protect them—to ensure transparency, fairness, and the ability for fighters to negotiate for their own worth.

H.R. 4624 moves in the opposite direction.

This bill will take power away from fighters and concentrate it in the hands of promotional companies. It will strip fighters of their negotiating power, limit their ability to choose who they work with, and reduce their share of the revenue they generate. It pushes boxing toward a centralized system where a few entities control opportunities, compensation, and careers.

That is not reform. That is exploitation.

No worker should be forced to accept terms they cannot negotiate—especially not workers whose job is to step into a ring and fight. H.R. 4624 will create one of the clearest examples of labor exploitation in modern sports: fighters generating massive revenue while being denied the power to negotiate their share.

This bill betrays the legacy of Muhammad Ali. Ali fought for fighters to be treated with dignity, transparency, and fairness, and the Muhammad Ali Act was built on that struggle. H.R. 4624 undermines those protections, moves the sport backward, and shamefully uses his name to disenfranchise fighters.

Boxing must remain a competitive, open system where fighters have the freedom to control their careers and negotiate their value. Without that freedom, there is no fairness, only control. Managers, promoters, and sanctioning bodies must remain separate entities. No single organization should control more than one of these roles.

Join us in opposing H.R. 4624. Stand for fighters. Stand for labor. Stand for freedom.
