N.Y. Boxing, Sparring and Wrestling § 15 — Sham or collusive exhibitions is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
* § 15. Sham or collusive exhibitions. Any person, including any corporation and the officers thereof, any physician, referee, judge, timekeeper, boxer, manager, trainer or second, who shall promote, conduct, give or participate in any sham or collusive boxing or sparring match or exhibition, shall be deprived of his license by the commission.
No licensed promoting corporation or matchmaker shall knowingly engage in a course of conduct in which fights are arranged where one boxer has skills or experience significantly in excess of the other boxer so that a mismatch results with the potential of physical harm to the boxer. If such action occurs, the commission may exercise its powers to discipline under section seventeen of this chapter.
