Is this true?

I was in school the other day and said, that if youre a registered boxer, you hands are legally classed as weapons, and if you kill someone accidently with then it wouldnt be counted as manslaughter, but murder?
Is This true?
Thankyou very much

If you have boxing license your only allowed to fight in the ring, if you have a street fight you can go to jail or something like that cause your hands are considered as weapons.


btw: you cant kill someone by "accident"

I mean hitting someone, with the intention of them just being hit, but them dieing. I.e Manslaughter

in or outside of the ring? If inside the ring you cant go to jail, alot of boxers killed their opponents with their punches, if outside the ring... goodbye.

Yes, that is true.
Moreover, if you just simply hit someone, without any bad consequences for that person, you can still be tried for an attempted murder.
That does not go for just proefessional fighters, amateurs with certain number of wins are also qualified for this "honor"
