Mayor Don Iveson says he is confident progress has been made on the recommendations. 

“Although more work remains to be done in improving combative sports regulation in Edmonton, the way has been cleared for combative sports to safely return to our city,” Iveson said Tuesday in a release.

City officials are to release an update on the progress that has been made on implementing the report recommendations on May 23.

The city also reiterated its call for the Alberta government to establish a provincewide body to regulate combative sports.
