Cruz, Rosen introduce Senate boxing bill with longer fighter contracts than House version

Senators Ted Cruz and Jacky Rosen introduced a Senate version of major boxing reform legislation on Thursday, which differs from the House version by including longer fighter contract provisions. The bill represents one of the most significant proposed changes to boxing regulation in a generation and sets up a congressional debate over the specifics before any reforms can take effect for boxers. The key point of contention between the two chambers centers on the duration of fighter contracts.
