no

Answer 2

I don't know what you are talking about when you say king of backyard boxing bu amateur boxing and backyard boxing are two completely different things. amateur boxing is sanctioned by a USA Boxing which is recognized as the governing body that controls all amateur boxing fights in the United States. backyard boxing may or may not be illegal. I don't believe it is b/c it is on private property and if it is between two consenting individuals; however, it certainly isn't smart b/c since it is not supervised by judges and since their is nothing governing it if someone gets hurt you could end up being sued b/c you insurance isn't going to cover a non-sanctioned fight in which you hurt someone.

Answer 3

Actually in 1903 it was legal to make kids street fight aginst their will for money. But now it's ok to let them box for free. I think tha's kind of ironic, huh?

Answer 4

You've got two separate parts to your question.  Amateur boxing registered with a state's athletic commission is legal everywhere.  Backyard boxing and "no rules" fights are illegal in most states, except Missouri.  It's not too likely that heavy legal action would be taken against the young participants, but the parents and the event sponsors could be in big trouble.

Answer 5

Colorado, not that I am aware of. we have several here in town, husband is a state trooper, they never go and bust the fights. They only get involved if it gets to a point where the fight has no rules or there are no sever out comes. However they do alot of aressts on these kids for other problems such as fights at school, disturbing the peace in a public place, lots of dui's and such. So it may be being regulated by students themselves or parents but the after effects are becomeing very dangerouse. GL!

Answer 6

Please check the WEB.  The Golden Gloves Boxing clubs sponsor amateur boxing in nearly every city in the USA.

This organization runs a national program for youth boxers, it is carefully controlled and monitored to prevent injuries and scheduled mismatches.

Youth fights in some ones back yard or in a back alley are not legal and could result in assault charges, etc.

Golden Gloves is legal in all states.
