I find bare-knuckle boxing deeply disturbing. Watching two fighters trade blows without gloves, protection, or real defense feels savage and outdated.

Professional boxing carries its own dangers, often involving longer bouts and more sustained damage. Yet boxers there defend themselves with skill and strategy—qualities stripped away in bare-knuckle contests.

Boxing has never been flawless. Even during thrilling battles like Joseph Parker versus Fabio Wardley last Saturday, viewers either recoil from the violence or rage at disputed stoppages. The sport’s brutality forms just one of many controversies.

The Parker–Wardley clash—regardless of the referee’s eleventh-round call—displayed mesmerizing skill and reignited passion for many fans.

Oscar De La Hoya launched a strong attack on Zuffa Boxing, accusing the Dana White–backed venture of trying to alter the Muhammad Ali Act for “shady” reasons. He argued that changing the legislation would weaken fighter protections that have existed for decades. The Muhammad Ali Act was created to shield boxers from exploitative contracts and establish fair ranking systems. The proposed Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act would introduce unified boxing bodies with independent belts, rankings, and titles outside the WBC, WBO, IBF, and WBA — mirroring the UFC model. The new act has divided the boxing world. The California…

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) expelled the IBA in 2023, citing corruption and governance issues. The IOC later granted provisional…
