MAABRA allows for the creation of alternative systems called Unified Boxing Organizations (UBOs)... UBOs would exist side-by-side and operate independently
Brian Jack would allow the creation of alternative Unified Boxing Organizations (UBOs) to operate alongside existing sanctioning organizations.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists Brian Jack as sponsor and shows the latest action as House ordered to be reported (amended) by a 30-4 vote on Jan. 21, 2026; the tracker still says the bill has the status Introduced.
The bill text says its purpose is to let a boxer choose the alternative system offered by a unified boxing organization, and defines a UBO as a private-sector association or league that runs title belts and rankings without reliance on an outside sanctioning organization.
Assessments
Brian Jack materially advanced the promised policy by sponsoring H.R. 4624 and moving it through committee, and the bill text explicitly would permit alternative Unified Boxing Organizations alongside existing sanctioning bodies. But the available evidence shows the measure was only introduced and reported from committee, not enacted or fully passed by Congress. Under the rubric, a serious legislative attempt without achieving the promised outcome counts as never, with effort credit.
