    Would it be legal to administer oil on yourself before a fight?

    I read somewhere Tyson Fury administered oil on himself in the first Wilder fight. Was just wondering if other fighters employ this tactic? Seems like punches would slip off easier.

      Boxers apply vaseline to their face but you can't put too much or the ref will tell you to wipe it off.

      I remember there was a high profile MMA fight where one guy was really oily and it opponent couldn't hold/submitt him, lol. Don't remember who it was though.
