“The legendary super heavyweight is about changing Ali’s law”, — write: sport.ua
“When I performed, everything was decided in the ring – my training, my courage, my choice. This is real boxing – when you control your own destiny.
And now the legislators are trying to take away this control. The new draft law “On the Revival of Muhammad Ali’s American Boxing” will transfer the sport into the hands of corporations, depriving fighters of their rights and proper conditions.
The original Ali Act protected boxers from abuse by promoters, ensured revenue transparency and required high safety standards. We cannot allow these principles to be destroyed, this should not happen in boxing,” Holyfield emphasized.
Earlier, the former world champion in heavyweight and cruiserweight Evander Holyfield named Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk’s place in the ranking of the best heavyweights in history.
