Hearing on Ali Act Revival announced for April 22nd

April 17, 2026 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

The U.S. Senate Committee for Commerce, Science, & Transportation will hold a hearing on the Ali Act Revival legislation that passed the House and makes its way to the Senate.

“Return to Your Corners: Have Federal Boxing Laws Gone the Distance or Slipped the Jab?” will include different voices from the hearings heard in Congress late last year. In this case, Oscar de la Hoya and Nico Ali Walsh will provide testimony to the Senate Subcommittee. Both oppose the law which was lobbied by TKO and supported by the Trump-favored Congress. It is likely to pass through a GOP-led suggested but now without a fight.

In addition to Walsh and the former Olympic champion, WWE’s Nick Khan and Timothy Shipman (President of Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports) will also testify.

The testimony is the first to be heard in the U.S. Senate and may lead to a potential vote this session in passing the bill.
