Indeks : p. 207-216 p. 189-205 The first book of its kind dedicated to an assessment of the legality of boxing, The book assesses the legal response to prize fighting and undertakes a current analysis of the status of boxing in both criminal legal theory and practice. In this book, Anderson exposes boxing?.'exemption' from contemporary legal and social norms. Reviewing all aspects of boxing - historical, legal, moral, ethical, philosophical, medical, racial and regulatory - he concludes that the supposition that boxing has a (consensual) immunity from the ordinary law of violence, based primarily on its social utility as a recognised sport, is not as robust as is usually assumed. Many aspects of the professional code unsettle me, and it is that sense of unease that this personal study seeks to confront.
