They don’t. The idea that professional boxers, or any other martial artists/combat athletes for that matter, are required to “register their hands as lethal weapons”, is a complete myth.
It’s a silly boast that some fighters use to exaggerate their own ability.

Former Bellator MMA fighter Joe Schilling was seen in a video Monday knocking out another man at a Florida bar.
Schilling, 37, posted footage of the incident to his Instagram account, claiming the incident was an act of “self-defense”, and was “scared for his life” and “simply defending myself against the evil in this world”
We aren’t all blessed with a 6 in front of our height. Aren’t all granted the luxury of long reach. But that hasn’t held back these fighters from around the world combat sports from becoming champions in their disciplines. So if you are one of those people standing on tippie-toes to board a roller coaster, but you still wan to fight about it, Here are a few diminutive destroyers in Combat sports and what you can learn from them.

Canadian MMA fighter Khetag Pliev began his fight against Devin Goodale on Thursday night with 10 fingers, as almost every fighter begins almost every fight, but he ended it with nine. Fans in attendance for Cage Fury FC 94 in Philadelphia got to witness the first win by TKO – (Detached Finger) in promotion history, as the fight ended between the second and third rounds when someone in Pliev’s corner pointed to where his left ring finger used to be and was, presumably, like “Where’d that one go?” Nobody knew where the digit was at the time, but it was very clear that it was not where it was supposed to be (on his hand).
Joe Rogan on wrestling:
“We said it a million times but it bears repeating. Wrestling is the greatest skill to have in MMA because wrestling dictates where the fight takes place.
On top of that, amateur wrestling training is so unbelievably grueling that the guys who get through it are the guys who rise to the top are the elite of the elite when it comes to mental toughness. That is a huge part of fighting. Mental toughness and focus and the ability to work hard to achieve goals under exceedingly insurmountable circumstances.”

Interviewer: Anderson Silva, what is worse, getting knocked out in the UFC or giving 200 interviews explaining why it happened?
Silva: Getting knocked out I guess.
Interviewer: Is it worse than people asking about it? Like I’m doing again and again and again…
Silva: No no, there will always be questions. Fans, people, they want to know what happened, but being knocked out is worse because you can’t remember. There is just a blackout, and then when you wake up you’re like, “Uh? What Happened? The fight is over?” And the ref says, “Yeah, it’s over and you lost.” “But how?” Then the ref says, “you got knocked out” “BUT HOW?” The ref then answers, “You took a big shot and fell to the mat.”

About 2 years ago I got jumped right outside of a local bar by 3 guys. They were very intoxicated and I was mildly buzzed, so take that into account. At this point I had been kickboxing for well over a year and a half and had wrestled since middle school (I was a little over 21 at the time, so we’ll say about 9ish years or so of wrestling experience). I’m not on the level of a pro MMA fighter by any means, but my training is extensive enough to where I’m not threatened by anyone that doesn’t also have their own mixed martial arts or combat background.
