obviously blood sport, there are rules that usually are strictly
enforced and, if you break them, you'll likely lose the match through
disqualification and possibly your license to box again.

Are there rules in boxing that are designed to prevent the infliction of
all serious injury or even death?

Boxing in all of it's forms is the only true blood sport as far as I am
concerned. Now, if you want to include animals, you can add hunting,
fishing, dog fighting etc. to the list
