§6303 — Title 15 Commerce and Trade | U.S. Code

Summary

You cannot hold, run, or take part in a professional boxing match in a State that has no boxing commission unless a commission from another State supervises the fight and follows the latest recommended rules from the Association of Boxing Commissions plus that supervising State’s boxing rules. If no State commission can supervise, the fight may only happen under supervision by the Association of Boxing Commissions when that association includes members from a majority of the States, and any reports or duties that would go to a State commission go to that association instead.
