Exhibition boxing (and wrestling and the like) is not (normally) done with the intent to irreperably injure the opposing party, which is the purpose of combat.

So I don't need to take up your challenge since there is no parrallel in the world of legitimate prize-fighting.

Er, no. The purpose of real combat is not to injure the opponent but to impose your will upon him.
