The Winds House passed a boxing reform bill now sent to the Senate. It bans men over 40 from boxing and bars anyone convicted of a felony from licensing as a manager or trainer. The bill requires ten ounce gloves generally, eight ounces for championships, caps manager take at 2 percent of purses, and limits sponsorship receipts to 20 percent of gross receipts. Rep. Walter McAvoy argues safeguards will restore public confidence in boxing.
