History

Historical Context

In 2000, President Bill Clinton signed the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act, a law that capped promoter commissions at 10 % and required transparent contracts. The act built on earlier attempts to curb promoter power, echoing Ali’s 1960s creation of Main Bout with investors like Bob Arum. Its standards now shape modern deals such as the Fury-Joshua bout planned for Wembley in November 2026.
