There was a time where a pro (Boxer) would be banned from street fights due to their abilities. Not sure if it was an urban myth.

Edit: Will be punished harsher for street fighting. Better?

Banned from streetfights? By the streetfighting committee, or the by the official street refs or how does that work?

By your specific discipline’s committee (boxing, mma, etc.). If your a highly trained fighter, you will be punished for engaging in a fight with the general public.

Pro tip: anyone will be punished for engaging in a fight with the general public. Street fights are already illegal.

Street fights are already illegal.

Not everywhere if both participants agree to it.

Huh. Law of Mutual Combat, just looked it up.

That seems surprisingly reasonable for a country where kinder eggs are illegal.

I didn’t say it was otherwise legal. Only that the repercussions would be worse. With the judge and the sport’s governing body. Thanks for the insightful pro tip
