The TKO Group, which owns UFC and WWE, asked to change the amendment in the Act on Muhammad Ali, a federal act aimed at protecting boxers from exploitation, in accordance with the note of state regulatory bodies, which were published on the Combat Sports Law website at the beginning of this week.

The request arises when TKO tries to create a novel boxing promotion. Although there are no detailed details about the request and speculation, they are crazy, which this may mean for sport, UFC spokesman said in a statement for ESPN that the amendment will try to “improve” the Ali act and offer boxers “more possibilities”.

“TKO conducts preliminary talks with members of the Congress about how we can cooperate to extend the Ali Act to create more choices and opportunities for boxers,” said UFC spokesman. “We believe that the improvements we are talking about can assist inspire boxing in America, provide American boxers with access to greater possibilities and better protection and leading to a larger number of boxing events in our country.”

In March, TKO announced that it joined forces from Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the general Arabia of Saudi Arabia entertainment in order to create a novel boxing promotion.

The Ali Act, adopted in 2000, changed the Act on boxing safety in 1996, extending the provisions on exploitation, conflict of interests and enforcement. In low, the Ali Act intended to prevent promoters to employ predatory and anti -competitive practices against athletes, while encouraging a free and open market.

This is contrary to what allegedly the UFC is guilty, because the promotion recently resolved an antitrust lawsuit worth $ 375 million submitted by fighters, claiming that the promotion was an illegal monopsonia that used anti -competitive business practices to suppress hunting wages and suppress competition.

In the note, the president of the Boxing Commission Association Mike Mazzulli wrote to regulatory bodies with which the “Council of Directors [TKO] To make sure that ABC is still part of federal law. “

There is no schedule when these corrections can be realized, and it is not known when the TKO boxing promotion will start.

Promoter Eddie Hearn said he was disappointed in the fact that Keyshawn Davis moves to 140 because he would not fight with a slight pretender Andy Cruz. Hearn hoped that Keyshawn would face the Golden Olympic medalist 2020 Cruz (5-0, 2 KO) because of the “history” from which they fought four times with amateurs, and Andy Breeze to the 4-0 record.

The Olympic competition explained

Keyshawn left the weight last Friday for defending the title of his lithe title WBO against Edwin de Los Santos. Then he announced that he was already planning to go to a lithe welterweight immediately after the fight. This means that there is no chance Father-Syn congress Before two lithe. Most people think that Keyshawn will never fight Cruz again after losing him four times with amateurs and looking in the final of the Golden Olympic medal match in 2020.

Cruz is fighting Hironori Mishiro in the lithe title IBF Eliminator on Saturday, June 14, at the Times Square theater in Recent York. The event will be broadcast in Dazn, from 19:00 et/16:00 Cruz will be mandatory for IBF Lightweight Raymond Muratalla.

“My biggest disappointment when I heard that Keyshawn was rising, it was that he was not going to fight Andy Cruz,” said Eddie Hearn Fighthypme. “The point is that nobody will want to fight him. So what you have to do is make people fight him.

“Building the popularity of Cruza

Given the tardy Cruza Start as a professional because of his long amateur career in Cuba, Hearn must put him on Schedule 4 to 6 fights If he wants to augment his popularity quickly enough so that huge names in 135 want to fight him. Even if and when Cruz defeats the IBF Lightweight Raymond Muratalla champion, he will avoid him by the best fighters. Cruz must follow the early Gennada Golovkin plan to often augment its popularity. He collaborated with GGG and maybe also with Cruz, as long as Hearn can get the dates of fighting for him.

Cruz-Mishiro eliminator

“Now Andy and Keyshawn have such a great potential because of history. Fans want to see this fight and I thought we had a chance to fight,” said Hearn. “Fortunately, he is [Cruz] In the final eliminator [against Hironori Mishiro] This weekend, which will be mandatory [Raymond] Muratalla to fight for IBF [lightweight] World Championship title. So we’re in a great place. “

With the victory over Mishiro, Cruz will be mandatory for the IBF Muratalli master, but he will still have to wait at the request of the fight by the sanctioning body. It can last from 9 to 12 months. So you can expect Muratalla promoters in the highest rank to pull him out for a full 12 months to allow them to get a warrior to get two simple title defense against Cruz fight.

Muratalli’s chances of defeating Cruz are almost zero because he is too one -dimensional and he lacks the ability to compete with a talented Cuban. This will be one of Andy’s easier fights as a professional.

Cruz challenges Davis

“But Andy jokes that the real reason why Keyshawn moves is that he did not want to fight Andy Cruz, because this weekend he set up to fight with all great names for 135. So Andy Cruz is one of the best warriors in the world. This is a great fight with Mishiro this Saturday and we can’t wait for a great statement from him.

Keyshawn has already shown over the past two years that he has not been interested in fighting Cruz. He ignored Andy’s challenge to face him and repeatedly gained less objection. His latest selection of inactive #14 WBO Edwin de los Santos, who has not fought for two years, showed what he meant.

Keyshawn does not want to fight Cruz because he lost too many times in amateurs, walking 0-4. Davis says he is now a “businessman”, which translates into his choice and choice of opposition that he is 100% sure that he can beat.
