‘For billionaires, not boxers’: De La Hoya warns over Ali Act overhaul in Senate hearing

Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya testified at a US Senate hearing, warning that the proposed overhaul of the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act could erode fighters' rights and benefit billionaire promoters rather than the boxers themselves. Supporters of the proposed changes argued that a centralized regulatory model would bring greater structure to the sport. The hearing highlighted deep divisions over how to reform boxing's governance framework in the United States.
