Federal boxing commission urged amid sport criticism
Hearings open before the House Commerce Committee on HR 8635 to create a federal boxing commission. The piece argues a commission would only employ a few more people and not fix core issues, noting fights are scarce outside Las Vegas and blaming broader social factors for boxing’s decline. It cites Dempsey on fighters not fighting enough and mentions Liston’s May 25 bout, plus Billy Conn’s quip about drowning in water at ringside.
