Heather Hardy is one of boxings most popular female fighters. She has a dedicated fan base in her hometown of New York and is coming off her biggest win -- yet she has no idea when she might fight next.Because of the new insurance law that recently went into effect in her home state, her promoter, Lou DiBella, canceled the remaining cards he was planning there this year on Friday.In a nationally televised fight, Hardy won a majority decision over then-unbeaten rival Shelly Vincent at the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island in Brooklyn. There has not been a professional boxing show in New York since that card Aug. 21, and there are none scheduled, putting a major dent into the careers of boxers who fight in New York and promoters who put on cards there.Star Boxing promoter Joe DeGuardia already canceled his Oct. 14 card at the Paramount in Huntington on Long Island, where he has been doing regular club cards for years. On Friday, DiBella announced that he has canceled the remaining cards he was planning for the year, including a Dec. 16 date he had on hold for a show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, a show Hardy was supposed to box on.The law (the one legalizing MMA in the state) that went into effect in New York includes new insurance regulations, including dramatically increased premiums that promoters must pay in order to run a show. Minimum coverage went from $10,000 to $50,000 for general medical coverage per fighter on each card, a change most promoters had no issue with and conforms to the norm in many other states. But the law also requires a new unprecedented $1 million minimum requirement for each fighter in the event the fighter suffers a traumatic brain injury, a very rare occurrence.Even if promoters could take on the added financial burden of the increased insurance premiums -- they are expected to only impact the smaller club shows -- there has yet to be any insurance company authorized by the state to offer such a policy and it does not appear that, despite the efforts of various promoters and the New York State Athletic Commission, a policy offer is imminent.The NYSAC said it expects at least two companies to soon begin offering policies, but it is unlikely to happen in time to salvage any boxing dates in the state for the remainder of the year and it could stretch the states boxing blackout into 2017.The issue is a serious burden for Hardy (18-0, 4 KOs), and many other fighters who are basically out of work since they fight primarily in New York, where they earn money from their base purses in addition to a percentage of the tickets they sell.These new insurance restrictions are not just destroying the sport of boxing in New York, they are destroying my livelihood, Hardy said. Do you have any idea what life looks like for a professional boxer, especially one who is a female and a single parent? With these new laws, fewer shows and dates being moved or canceled, I dont know how Im going to survive at all, let alone the upcoming holiday season. Im going to have to go back to delivering books and answering phones to try to cover the bills.September marked the first time in more than 11 years that there was a full calendar month without a professional boxing card in New York.DiBella has moved his Broadway Boxing series, a staple of the New York fight scene, out of state. He has a card on Nov. 19 at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, and on Dec. 2 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, but that is of little solace to the fighters he promotes who call New York home and earn a portion of their purse by selling tickets to their hometown fans.There is such a rich history of boxing in New York, DiBella said. And now the sport has, for all intents and purposes, been evicted by a legislature willfully ignorant of both the boxing and insurance industries. The actions of the powers that be in Albany and their political appointees are depriving New York state residents in the sport of boxing from their livelihoods. This is hitting boxers very hard, as most struggle to pay their bills and need to be active.Small businesses are being put at jeopardy with no recourse or ability to continue plying their trade. This is a disgraceful abuse of legislative and state power.The NYSAC could modify the law, which reads, The commission may from time to time, promulgate regulations to adjust the amount of such minimum limits. But the law went into effect in September with the commission declining to modify the $1 million minimum for coverage requirement, which promoters call arbitrary. The commission said at the time it did not plan to make any changes.The New York State Athletic Commission voted to approve the final regulations governing combat sports in New York State. NYSACs primary objective is to ensure the safest environment for combative sports in the nation so that combat athletes competing in New York State incur the fewest and least severe injuries possible, commission spokesman Laz Benitez told ESPN in a statement. While some combative sports industry professionals expressed concern over the premiums for the $1 million coverage, these amounts are as yet determined.However, from discussions with insurers about to enter the market, we believe the costs will be reasonable. Ultimately, the frequency and severity of life-threatening brain injuries incurred in New York State will drive the premiums. NYSAC believes the best way to keep premiums down is to keep injuries to a minimum.DiBella said he had no choice but to cancel shows because of the law and the lack of a policy being offered yet.It is incumbent upon either the legislature or commission to take a long look at what theyve done and fix it, he said. If there is an honest intention to continue boxing in the state, there must be a modification of the required limits. I have had endless conversations with insurance brokers and underwriters and any narrative being spun suggesting that a policy with an affordable premium will be in place soon is flatly wrong and not helping restore boxing in New York.I have several dates on hold with the New York State Athletic Commission in January 2017 and beyond and I look forward to bringing world-class boxing back to New York, but I must have both the assurance that it is legally possible to satisfy the insurance requirements and proper time to promote a show.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Sabres center Jack Eichel declared hes cleared every hurdle in recovering from a sprained left ankle, and coach Dan Bylsma said theres a possibility the center will make his season debut at Ottawa on Tuesday.Well see, Bylsma said Monday, giving no guarantees that Eichel will play against the Senators. But Bylsma noted he was impressed by how the player performed during consecutives days of rigorous practices.Jack looks good on the ice, Bylsma said. It was a big test for him yesterday and seeing how he came in today was a big step for whether were going to see him tomorrow.Eichel practiced with his expected linemates, Evander Kane and Sam Reinhart, and also assumed his familiar role on the teams top power-play unit.The next test is seeing whether Eichel experiences any setbacks overnight before determining whether hell play.Eichel has been out since hurting the ankle during practice on Oct. 12, a day before Buffalos season opener against Montreal. He began practicing with the team last week and was scheduled to board the Sabres flight for a road trip for the first time this season.Its a step in the right direction just being able to head out there and put my best foot forward, but who knows what will happen tomorrow night, he said. The patience is starting to wear thin, but youve got to make sure youre being smart.Eichel, college hockeys top player duuring his freshman season at Boston University, was selected with the No.dddddddddddd 2 pick in the 2015 draft. He led the Sabres in scoring 24 goals and finished second among NHL rookies with 56 points in 81 games,Eichels pending return has the potential of providing the Sabres a boost, particularly on a sputtering offense.Buffalo (7-9-5) has scored one or fewer goals in regulation 12 times this season, including eight of its past 12 outings.Injuries have played a factor. Center Ryan OReilly returned last week after missed five games with a strained oblique, while Evander Kane missed 11 games with broken ribs.Buffalo is still playing without forward Tyler Ennis (sports hernia) and defensemen Zach Bogosian (sprained knee) and Dmitry Kulikov (lower back).Eichels mere presence in practice provided the Sabres a lift, with several teammates notably tapping their sticks each time Eichel scored.I think you see thats a little bit of relief for everybody, Bylsma said.Eichel is eager to come to the rescue for a team thats 2-1-1 in its past four since ending a 0-6-2 skid.These are my best buddies, these are my teammates. Youd like to go through adversity with them and be able to play, Eichel said. And not being able to do that has been pretty rough.
