The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Muhammad Ali Boxing Revival Act on Tuesday through a voice vote, advancing legislation that would significantly change the structure of professional boxing regulation.

The bill aims to amend federal boxing regulations by allowing the creation of Unified Boxing Organizations as alternative options for professional boxers. This represents a shift in how the sport would be governed at the federal level.

The legislation passed with bipartisan support in the House, indicating broad congressional agreement on the need for boxing reform. Voice votes typically signal consensus among members, as they are used when there is little expected opposition to a measure.

The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate for consideration and potential approval. The Senate will conduct its own review process before determining whether to advance the legislation further.

The Muhammad Ali Boxing Revival Act is named after the legendary heavyweight champion, reflecting the sport's ongoing efforts to modernize its regulatory framework and organizational structure.
