If a boxer is fighting someone and hit them so hard that they kill the other person Will they go to jail or get charged with anything? (link)

This is a good question. I'm no boxing, or legal expert but here is what I think.
There is a principle of law, which is called "assumption of risk". This means, that you understand the risk involved when going into a certain situation i.e. you understand that you may seriously be injured or worse.
Secondly, professional boxers will usually have to sign a contract, saying that they take full responsibility for what happens to them in the ring.
Of course, if two idiots are play fighting in their garden, then no such agreement is made, and so maybe they would be sent to jail and be charged.
But professional boxers understand and agree to the risks.
Hope I helped :)
