President WBO Gustavo Olivieri presses Ali Act’s behavior
Published

In a preventive strike addressed to anyone who plans to improve the Muhammad Ali Act, the president of the World Boxing Organization Olivieri separated the statement this week, supporting federal boxers protecting rights.
“It is legislation that remains the cornerstone in the protection of boxers against conflicts of interest, unfair contracts and unstable practices,” Olivieri eager. “It promotes ethical standards, independent rankings and securing the rights of fighters at a time when the renovated calls to weakening or repealing the act must be vigilant.
“WBO strongly supports the behavior and strengthening of this critical law for the integrity of sport and the protection of those who compete in it.”
Do not make a mistake that this attitude is directly reacted to the specific plans of the newly proposed TKO boxing promotion, which will sign warriors and stage fights in conventional weight classes, with the intention of granting their own belts, because TKO Head and the general director of UFC, Dana White, for years in its mixed martial arts organization.
Although the strength of the TKO Association with the Saudi Saudi Saudi Saudi Alabia boxing association is less sure than before this month after the decision to separate the promotion of the planned superfight from the four masters of four champions Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Terenka Crawford, White met with the association Mazzulli. Granting belts.
“The problem is no belt.
“There is no independence. It is an absolute control of the entire structure. This is not good. There should be an equal balance. Therefore, in our republic there is a balance of power – executive, legislative and judicial power. The purpose of separating power is that no one will replace the others and there will be no power.
In the social media post from the Battle Sports lawyer, it is warned that promoters acting as managers and studied are “the main conflict of interests”, reminding that Ali Act protects them from “long -term contracts that you cannot escape” and “hidden financial agreements that rob your just cuts.”
Olivieri said he was “absolutely concerned” that the TKO model would begin to water the Ali Act.
And while the White and former chairman of the UFC, Lorenzo Fertitta, adopted the principle of “running for regulation”, while obtaining the approval of MMA from state committees throughout the country in the years of formative organizations, close to White’s friendship with President Donald Trump probably authorizes him to implement any adaptations that he may have been working since 2000.
White and UFC spokeswoman did not immediately answer questions about the position of TKO about the Ali Act.
“The act serves the purpose. That is why it was adopted – to protect warriors,” said Olivieri. “At the negotiating table, the fighters are in an undesirable situation. They do not have a lever in most situations. Act – although it is not perfect – if it is properly and consistently enforced, the fighters have some protection. You prefer to have operation on site and you do not need it than not need and need it.”
After the takeover of Francisco “Paco” Valcarcel in December, Olivieri will cope with the situation with warriors as part of the creation of his novel program “WBO Conding Back”, which begins an educational conference in June.
“Ali’s Act is part of this. This is crucial and should be defended and supported. Fighters should know their rights, from a rating perspective, in the scope of financial disclosures and all other provisions that lend a hand them to avoid using contracts – all pockets that include the act,” said Olivieri.
“We will also deal with financial knowledge, legal advice, investments, acquisition of the first number of people, knowledge of minimum contractual guidelines-critical financial information, about which the fighter should be aware of. Thanks to our novel WBO program at least will provide warriors with some tips through seminars, publications, educational social media, films and tutiorski.”
WBO also has a selfish interest in this position-until it still exists as one of the four main organizations of separate ratings authorized to grant lanes and charging fees for sanctions.
“There should be an independent assessment system,” said Olivieri. “The current structure is not perfect, but it is proper, and if consistently enforced, we should not have a problem. The assessment structure is not perfect, sanctioning bodies are not perfect, but if we act with transparency and honesty, we should not have a problem.”
Olivieri said that there may be a way to solve it all through restructured Ali laws, if the changes improve the position of fighters.
“I have no objection to sitting and reviewing the rules that can be improved from the perspective of fighters,” said Olivieri. “I know we’re here for fighters.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
