Why dont you look at the kiddush hashem aspect of it like Dmitry Salita who refuses to play on shabbos and the has had the boxing federation switch around his schedule for him and stop brining your fagrebete misnagishe rayos that you probaly read in some stupid artscroll book

B”H
To ‘huge fan,’ etc. Silly and foolish! You’re both probably teenagers or of the same mentality.
The Rebbe would NEVER be maskim to someone involving themselves in the brutal pursuit of boxing for parnossa.
Read what Rabbi Avigdor Miller, A”H wrote about it.
