Section 18643.

(a) No professional boxer shall spar for training purposes with any person not licensed as a professional boxer or who does not have a sparring permit. The commission may authorize a professional boxer to spar with someone not licensed as a professional boxer or who does not have a sparring permit, under special circumstances subject to a commission representative being present. No person licensed under this chapter shall conduct, hold, or permit unlicensed persons to spar unless commission authorization is granted.

(b) The commission may issue a permit to spar with professional boxers for training purposes. This permit shall be issued only to persons who meet the physical and mental requirements for licensure as a professional boxer.

(c) The operator of a professional boxers' training gymnasium shall inspect and log daily on a form approved by the commission the professional boxing license or sparring permit of any individual who wishes to use the gymnasium for sparring or boxing and no person shall do so unless that person has a valid and current license or permit. Individuals described in subdivision (a) shall be exempt from these requirements.
