Forget Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua for a moment. Forget Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao 2 (we know you want to, anyway). Naoya Inoue vs Junto Nakatani is a salivating contest this week... but put that aside for now, too. Boxing’s biggest fight of the year is already under way, and it is not being waged in the ring; it’s being waged in the US Senate.
It concerns the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act, a new bill that was passed by the House of Representatives in March, and which was discussed last week in a hearing before the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The bill, named after arguably the greatest boxer ever to have lived, is intended to alter federal regulations around the sport.
