Professional boxing is unique from other sports because of its lack of a centralized governing body. The statutes and regulations governing boxing are an amalgam of federal and state law, and, in the cases of championship or championship elimination fights, rules enacted by private organizations, which act as “sanctioning organizations.”1
In New York, professional boxing is regulated by the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC), which is statutorily authorized to enact rules governing boxing.2 No boxing contest may be held in the state except in accordance with NYSAC’s rules.3
