Read FactVote summary
The bill would amend the Professional Boxing Safety Act to allow unified boxing organizations to use an alternative compliance system subject to added safety, medical, anti-doping, contract, disclosure, and financial requirements. These organizations would generally need to provide additional ambulances and ringside physicians, supplemental examinations for boxers age 40 or older, training and rehabilitation access, injury insurance, and minimum compensation of $200 per scheduled round. The bill would also establish limits on promotional contracts, require drug-testing procedures, and require certification of judges and referees. The amendments would take effect upon enactment and apply to matches held at least 180 days later.
