§ 41-5-7.1. Required information on boxer's application for license — Medical examination.
(a) After a license is granted under § 41-5-1 for a boxing or sparring match or exhibition, no person shall perform as a boxer
in the match or exhibition unless he or she shall have been licensed by the division
of gaming and athletics licensing at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the starting
time for the first event in the match or exhibition. In addition to such other information
and references as the division may require, an application to be licensed as a boxer
shall be sworn to by the applicant under oath, upon the pains and penalties of perjury,
and shall include:
(1) A detailed summary of the contractual agreement between the applicant and the licensee
for the boxing or sparring match or exhibition for which the applicant seeks to be
licensed as a boxer, including, among other things, the pecuniary gain or other consideration
to be paid to, or on behalf of, the applicant by reason of his or her performance
in the match or exhibition;
(2) A detailed description of every illness, injury, or other incapacity suffered by the
licensee within six (6) months of the boxing or sparring match or exhibition for which
the applicant seeks to be licensed as a boxer, including the dates of each illness,
injury, or other incapacity, the name and address of all persons who treated or examined
the applicant, the nature of the treatment prescribed (including the generic name
for any medications or medicines prescribed), and whether the applicant has recovered;
(3) The complete fight record of the applicant for the twelve (12) months prior to the
boxing or sparring match or exhibition for which the applicant seeks to be licensed
as a boxer, including the full, legal name of his or her opponent, any professional
or stage name used by his or her opponent at the time of the match or exhibition,
and the date, place, and results of the match or exhibition;
(4) The date and circumstances of any disqualification, sanction, or denial of permission
to box imposed against the applicant by any state authority governing boxing within
nine (9) months of the boxing or sparring match for which the applicant seeks to be
licensed as a boxer;
(5) The full, legal name of the applicant, every professional or stage name used by him
or her, and his or her date of birth and social security number; and
(6) A current passport-type photograph of the applicant.
(b) Notwithstanding the issuance of a license to an applicant, the license shall not be
valid unless the holder thereof shall file with the division a sworn, supplementary
application updating his or her original application. The supplementary application
shall be filed not more than forty-eight (48) nor less than twenty-four (24) hours
prior to the starting time for the first event in the match or exhibition for which
the holder has been licensed; provided, however, that no supplementary application
shall be required when an original application has been filed within such time; provided
further, however, that in no event shall an original or supplementary application
be filed with the division less than six (6) hours of the closing of business on the
last ordinary business day of the division next occurring before the day on which
the match or exhibition is scheduled to be conducted.
(c) Every application for a license under § 41-5-3 by a person seeking to be licensed as a boxer shall be accompanied by the report
of a physician duly licensed by the division. The report shall certify whether the
applicant is fit to perform as a boxer and shall be based on a recently conducted
complete examination of the applicant. The report shall contain a complete medical
history of the applicant and the results of the tests conducted by or on behalf of
the examining physician as the medical history of the applicant warrants or as are
material to the physician's certification.
