NICO ALI WALSH DISCUSSES PROTECTING THE ALI ACT IN HIS LETTER

Nico Ali Walsh on Protecting the Integrity of the Ali Act

For full transparency, was Nico’s recent email to the members of the US Senate Committee:

Thank you for your time and continued commitment to the sport of boxing and to protecting athletes like myself.

My perspective on this issue is quite unique not only as an active fighter, but also as the grandson of Muhammad Ali, who fought to protect the rights of future generations.

I wanted to share the attached document to help clarify several statements made during the recent Senate hearing, and to ensure the discussion is grounded in accurate context and factual data. The goal is not to oppose meaningful reform, but to highlight key concerns around preserving fighter independence, maintaining fair competition, and avoiding unintended consequences that could negatively impact the sport’s structure and allow monopolistic control.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss these points in detail with you or your team at your convenience in order to find a solution that protects both the fighters and the future of the sport.

Respectfully,

Nico Ali Walsh
