I have a lot of ?s about the amendment to the Ali Act. The definition of a UBO still aligns with the definition of a promoter under the 1996 Act. UBOs organize, promote & produce boxing matches. Will the Ali Act requirements for promoters still apply to UBOs? /1
Here we go. TKO introduces a bill to weaken the Ali Act, carving out the right to sanction their own titles and run roughshod over state commissions like they do in MMA-- in return offering pitiful concessions like a $150 per round minimum purse sportico.com/law/analysis/2…

“Can’t wait to see the next WB- interim match” said no one. What if the 4 belts, interims, always existed? Who else would’ve been a champ? Or in the Hall of Fame? youtu.be/Tsyy-Ydu_FI?si…
What a day with the champs! What a summer! Keep going! #Boxing
I've seen this cartoon around before, but hadn't looked into the life of Ed Dunkhorst, "The Human Freight Car," until today. A thread 🧵
Pound for pound great Bob Fitzsimmons, weighing in at around 170lbs, KO'd 260lb Ed Dunkhorst - aka "The Human Freight Car", "The Human Jellyfish" and simply "Dunk" - in just 2 rounds in Brooklyn, New York, #OnThisDay in 1900. Cartoon by Bob Edgren.
Finally cranked out a new pod. My guest is the great writer @CorpasWriter. We talk about his new book - The 4-Belt Error. Great discussion about boxing throughout its history and how older fighters are given short shrift for not being "champions". open.spotify.com/episode/2sK1tt…
I finally made it to the big time. We talk Clemente, Candyman Candelaria, and boxing.
